Gray Clouds and a Bit of Sun
The sky has different qualities at different times of the year. The changes of light and dark and the many layers of clouds diffusing all the colors from the hidden sun create a gloomy yet subtly colored sky. Inspired by indirect warm orange glow of the sun in a cloudy sky, I created a set of vessels for coffee that form a cloudy landscape with a hint of warm orange glow using the transparent properties of glass and diffuse reflection on matte porcelain surfaces. Colors have a subtle yet powerful effect on how we perceive the environment around us. Color can easily be used as an ingredient in food. The subconscious is at work while we eat and drink from tableware with different colors and textures. Orange has a special place in food perception because it makes us perceive our food as more aromatic.
