Staccato adds to the visual exploration of historic while bridging the gap between the decorative and fine art. Staccato diffuses an 18th century Chinese export pattern from Owen Jones’ text “The Grammar of Chinese Ornament” to create an entirely new and abstracted hand-painted pattern in luxe copper luster and royal blue. Over the gridded installation of 70 earthenware plates, the glazed surfaces collectively become a fragmented canvas for a delicate, painterly re-rendering.

Materials: 70 hand painted plates with glaze, underglaze and copper luster

Dimensions: 70h x 120w x 1.5d inches
