Text and Context - Stephanie DeArmond's Letterforms

摘要

Stephanie DeArmond's work combines ceramics tradition with the ironic humor of appropriated text and kitsch imagery. Employing a wide range of influences from architecture, pop culture, and art history, DeArmond is at the helm of an alternative craft movement, revitalizing non-traditional materials in the art world. With an audience enamored with her work that ranges from subscribers of Elle and Ready-Made magazines to the readers of the popular Design*Sponge blog, DeArmond's sculptural and functional ceramics are not easily defined by the art-school limitations of sculpture, vessel, and design.
