365 traditional American ceramic pieces, one for each day of the year. Painted
for Malo by Izhar Patkin.
"In all Patkin's work, whether sculpture, painting, photography or assemblage,
the narrative has always gone hand in hand with the medium. In this case, the
story began with a treasure hunt, Patkin handpicked an eclectic china menagerie
of used plates, cups, saucers, teapots, jugs, soup bowls, tureens and vases from
New England yard sales and flea markets. Patkin's imagination ran with all the
implications of the dishes. He thought of continuity, domesticity, family life,
femininity, fragility, and sustenance. And he thought of the lives the dishes
had led before. These mismatched dishes become a perfect metaphor for how we live
today. Their random grouping reminds of our own chipped-away traditional family
units, a sacred institution reinvented by society's changing values. He decided
to call his collection Mistresses and Wives, Husbands and Other Lives."—Jean Nathan |
