A work inspired by a nineteenth-century Chinese Export porcelain plate from the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Composed of 37 earthenware hand-painted and lustered plates, the glazed surface of Similis becomes a fragmented canvas for a delicate, painterly re-rendering. Installed in a geometric honeycomb pattern, each round surface serves as an individual abstraction; together, the plates reveal the intricate abstract floral motif of their historic counterpart.

Materials: 37 hand-painted earthenware plates with underglaze, engobe and 22 karat gold luster

Dimensions: 84h x 65w x 1.5d inches
