Spring is in the air! The dogwoods are blooming down Georgia way, and grad students are preparing for their thesis shows. University of Georgia grad student Euni Figi has had a busy couple of years. One of her "greatest hits" is the "Blush-n-Flush" toilet tissue wedding gown. You can purchase one of your very own via Slop Art. Also, she'll be showing her "rice apron", a domestic accouterement filled with 100 pounds of rice. Euni's work explores the worlds of costume, history, identity, but always with a humorous twist. The MFA show opens at the Georgia Museum of Art this weekend, and will be up through April 27th.
"Orientation" - New Work From China
- This body of work was created during a Summer 2010 residency at the Pottery Workshop in Jingdezhen, China. These porcelain vessels explore traditional Chinese iconography as refracted through a decidedly Western point of view.
