Bowl, Phoebe Allen. 2005


Ceramic bowl and Lazertrran. 5in x 3 in.
Phoebe was a graphics student who through this work demonstrates our philosophy of breaking down the walls between disciplines. Working on a bowl is as valid for a graphic designer as it is for a ceramicist. For her major project Phoebe silk-screened a huge poster for an imaginary Japanese horror film. She then produced a press pack for the Oscar ceremonies consisting of poster, set of badges, plastic ID card and Japanese tea bowl. The face on the bowl was taken from the original poster and the lips from the face image. These were printed onto water based decal transfer paper and transferred onto the bowl.
