Maxwell Mustardo
1 collaboration
Maxwell Mustardo’s ceramics highlight the sensuality of clay. His practice begins with everyday ceramic objects like mugs, cups, pitchers, and vases that we usually take for granted. Mustardo defamiliarises them by exaggerating their forms or coating them in bright textured plastic. His series Anthropophorae gives new life to classical amphorae (Roman and Greek pots). The bulbous shapes of the clay resemble something organic, fleshy, even human. It is important to Mustardo that his objects are recognisable – “I try to make things accessible to everybody as much as possible.”
