About the Item

Spode Creatures of Curiosity with Romanesco, limited edition photograph The Good Dishes integrates memory, legacy, and metaphor with my response to loss. As I witnessed an early generation of family members pass, my cousins and I were each faced with the emotional task of cleaning out the family home. Sorting through the heirlooms, we would determine which items to toss, sell, or preserve. Without fail, when it came to the family’s fine china, that item was always given to the person who most cherished its memory and sentimental value. Growing up in a large Italian family, everything was centered around food and the family table. I remember vividly my mother’s vintage marigold stoneware dishes that she bought at the grocery store back in the early 1970s. She used them every day for as long as I could remember, and they had a life of their own. Along with my mother’s everyday dishes she had one set that she kept on display behind glass that only she handled, only she washed, and only she hand-dried; these were deemed “the good dishes.” Whenever I heard, “I need to use the good dishes,” that meant one of two things in our household: the priest was coming over for dinner or it was a very special occasion. Either way, the food presentation, table dress, and table manners all changed whenever “the good dishes” came out. Eating is a physical need, but meals are a social ritual. Utilizing the passed-down heirlooms of friends and family, The Good Dishes celebrates the memory of family and togetherness. It borrows the stylized rituals of formal tableware and draws inspiration from classic still-life paintings. Background textiles are individually designed and constructed to reflect patterns found in each table setting while presentation, etiquette, and formality are disassociated by using food and fine china in unconventional ways as metaphors for the beauty and intimacy that are centered around meal and table. JP Terlizzi ( American, b. 1962 ) is an award-winning New York City photographer whose contemporary practice explores themes of memory, relationship, and identity. His images are rooted in the personal and heavily influenced by the notion of home, legacy, and family. He is curious about how the past relates and intersects with the present and how the present enlivens the past, shaping one’s identity. Born and raised in the farmlands of Central New Jersey, JP earned a BFA in Communication Design at Kutztown University of PA with a concentration in graphic design and advertising. He has studied photography at both the International Center of Photography in New York and Maine Media College in Rockport, ME. JP’s highly acclaimed still life work is known for its distinctive use of style, pattern, texture, and color. He uses food and objects that serve as a memory that links to a foundation in family tradition, history, and culture. His work has been exhibited extensively in galleries and museums across the United States and abroad including juried, invitational, and solo exhibitions notably at Koslov Larsen Gallery, (Houston, TX), Vicki Myhren Gallery (Denver, CO), Gilman Contemporary (Ketchum, ID), Florida Museum of Photographic Art, Danforth Museum (Framingham, MA), The Griffin Museum of Photography (Winchester, MA), Ft. Wayne Museum of Art (Ft. Wayne, IN), Candela Gallery (Richmond, VA), and Klompching Gallery (Brooklyn, NY) among others. JP has been recognized three times in Photolucida’s Critical Mass Top 50 and three times as a Finalist. His work has appeared in The Photoville Fence, and his portfolios have won notable awards of distinction with Klompching Gallery (Brooklyn, NY), Sohn Fine Art Gallery (Lenox, MA), and Soho Photo Gallery (New York, NY). Print and online publications include PDN, Shots Magazine, Yogurt Magazine (Italy), Art Market Magazine, (Israel), Lens Magazine (Israel), Photographer's Companion (China), Abridged Magazine (Ireland), New England Review, Mono Chroma Magazine, Artdoc Magazine, All About Photo, L’oeil de la Photographie, and The Photo Review.

  • Cloud, Contemporary Color Photography on Reflections
    By Roberta Fineberg
    Located in New york, NY
    For the image “Cloud” the artist Roberta Fineberg’s attention and equilibrium remained anchored on an anthropomorphic cloud during an unusual springtime (the pandemic 2020) in New York. Sheltering in place, with the soul of the City laid bare, birds sang louder than usual outside city dwellers’ windows. Sunlight illuminated the empty streets, formerly bustling. Nature reigned. A contemporary color photograph, Cloud, 2020 by Roberta Fineberg is 18" x 24" (sheet size) an archival pigment print on baryta paper in an edition of 5. Photograph is signed by the artist. Provenance: RF Archive *** Artist Bio: As a photographer and visual artist, Roberta Fineberg (RF) focuses on the themes of serendipity, inventiveness, and development of ideas for her photography, video, installations, works on paper, and painting. Drawn to experimentation, she explores diverse mediums and subjects such as the ephemeral (butterfly series), stolen moments (documentary work), play, timelessness, the enduring, and significance of matter. In July 2022, Roberta Fineberg’s Double Helix was included in a Sotheby’s auction in New York City and exhibited in the preview show Contemporary Discoveries. Selected exhibitions include: Time Gallery New York (2022), Phyllis Harriman Gallery New York studio shows (2022; 2020), CADAF online art...
