About the Item

Keith Simpson's miniature porcelain Ceramic Cars sculptures reflect memories of vehicles from his childhood and the 1980's. With Fort Makers, he chose colors and silhouettes of cars that are charming and magnetic, yet also somewhat humble. Keith describes them as "archetypal 1980's hand-me-downs," and says of them, "They are like the models of cars that you might inherit from your grandparents if you had your sweet 16 in a 1990’s suburb. Somewhere in the cars is a dull jab toward privilege and some sincere reverence to the utilitarian; there’s no Porsche but maybe there is a beat up 280z, so we’re not doing too bad. They are about coming to know agency, living at an awkward and particular age, driving yourself to school, and smoking cigarettes in the parking lot.” These pop, punchy, mouth-watering cars are made in limited edition runs of 250, and their edition number is marked on the bottom of each car. They're irresistibly collectible but remember, PLEASE DON'T EAT THE CARS AS THEY ARE NOT EDIBLE.
