This teacup sculpture is delightfully off-kilter—it feels like a teacup remembered through a dream or a child’s drawing, where proportion and symmetry take a back seat to texture, gesture, and charm. The chunky handle, the wavy saucer, the uneven rim—all of it speaks to a kind of joyful defiance of utility. It’s not trying to hold tea. It’s trying to hold attention.
The light blue color adds a softness that contrasts with the rugged, almost geological surface. It’s as if the cup were carved from a weathered cliff or shaped from a chunk of sky. There’s something tactile and inviting about its imperfections—it asks to be touched, not just looked at. It’s domesticity reimagined as sculpture, where the familiar becomes strange and the strange becomes familiar again.
In the context of your tableau series, this piece could be a moment of pause—a domestic relic caught mid-transformation, or a playful nod to ritual and comfort. It’s not just a cup. It’s a character. And it’s got stories to tell.
