Christina Pitsch continues her inquiry into relationships and perception with Still Life, a series that focuses on decorative ornamentation. She references historical chinoiserie patterns with a twist by recreating them in cardboard and artificial flowers, which are then translated to vitreous porcelain and bone china. The results create a dialogue between highbrow versus lowbrow, questioning the notion of decoration, ornamentation and opulence through quintessential representations of nature throughout history.

Made at Sundaymorning@EKWC. This work was made possible by the generous support of the European Ceramic Work Center (Oisterwijk, Netherlands)
