"Drink Me" explores the concept of elevating mundane, everyday life experiences into something sculptural, ceremonial, and performative. As drinking is an activity that we do everyday, multiple times a day, I chose to create vessels designed to be drunk out of in a way that invokes a performative gesture and explores the sense of touch using unique form. Drinking from the head mimics the act of kissing and creates a tender experience for the performer.

 

"Conversation Coasters" serves as an extension to the series "Drink Me", continuing in the exploration of intermixing sculptural and utilitarian objects. These coasters fit the specific cups created in the "Drink Me" series and serve to add narrative and extend the context of the vessels. The hands represent the gesture of cradling someone's head during the act of kissing.
