Reflecting a collage of 15th century Dutch still life paintings across 60 hand-painted earthenware plates. The central image of the work, a large vase of vibrantly painted flowers is derived from 15th century Dutch painting, more specifically “pronkstilleven” (Dutch for ‘ostentatious still life’). Each individual plate serves as a canvas; together, the plates reveal the intricate abstract floral motif of their source material. Bridging the gap decorative and fine art the glazed surfaces of earthenware plates collectively become a fragmented canvas for painterly re-rendering.
