Claiming the functional surface of the dinner plate as a canvas, Deconstructed Lace sources the historic tableware pattern titled "Blue Fluted Lace" from the Danish Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufacturer.
The design of each plate is both an abstraction and a highlight of the original tableware, highlighting pattern within pattern. The work's shift in scale from the familiar creates a dramatic shift in understanding. The viewer is directed to look closely at small details in the surface of the historic counterpart through each individual plate's painterly abstraction of the whole.
