Five new limited edition 'Coloured Vase' sculptures, each in a dazzling metallic colour.Collect as a set
I'm interested in the vase because it's very symbolic in relation to humans' existing conditions. Of an earlier time, if you had better financial status, you would have more vases. 'Readymades' means you're working with something recognisable. In today's life, all the brands are recognisable. It (the edition) uses today’s language to amplify classic imagery.
