I made two pieces for this show of paper cup art in San Francisco. The brief was to turn this ordinary object into a work of art, and artists from all over the US were invited to participate.
I tried to create the effect of blue and white china, and used my collection of Chinese ceramics as reference for the design. I made a cup with separate decorated panels first, and then did another based on the famous willow pattern design. It was interesting to work in the round, after working flat for such a long time.

The show was on simultaneously at Long Weekend store in Oakland...
and Fayes in the Mission...
Today was the last day to see the show at Long Weekend, but Fayes will still be open to visit this week. Hope you can make it!
