About the Item
Lana Wilson Ceramic " Artifact Teapot " Sculpture, California, c.1994
Artist Statement
Artifacts like a tarnished copper yak butter teapot used in ceremonies in Bhutan or a Sambura wooden vessel from Kenya hold continually intrigue me. The rich surfaces interest me on these pieces but I am equally drawn by the human ritual in which these objects are used. Currently I am using the symbols hobos scratched out during the depression in the '30s to convey messages like "don't give up," or "food here if you work." I have made stamps using these symbols and then made more and yet more stamps. These form part of the teapots and vessels I make in which I try to convey a feeling of ritual use and artifact presence. - Virtual Ceramics Exhibit
