The Crackery Tableware consists of ready-made plates, bowls, cups, etc, themselves coming from different services, and what they all have in common is that they are all white and each one has a crack and/or chips. Instead of rejecting these time-worn pieces, I celebrate their imperfections by glazing each crack in gold luster, and further transform it by turning the golden crack into a flower, placing the transfer of a blossom on one end, and a transfer of roots on the other. Other chips are also gold lustered and become the button of flowers, or bulbs the decoration which I apply depends entirely on the shape and positioning of the chip. The decoration borrows from classical tableware floral decoration, but with a fresh and modern stylization.
