SPOON


Spoon: this artwork, which has been titled spoon deftly celebrates the school of thought of the pop art culture, and adheres to its peculiar visual laws of three dimensional pictorial representations. It is about 300cm x 60cm x 29cm in dimension. The length of its tine in relation to its bowl has been subtly distorted proportionally. And basically it is a stoneware piece of sculpture, and the artist’s unique style of plastering clay on a wire meshed aperture is also obvious and its rough texture cannot be overlooked.
The length of the tine as noted earlier has been distorted intentionally as a satirical allusion to the proverb which states that those that dine with the devil use longer spoons. The artist, in this work is saying, by portraying the cutlery by itself that one should not even think of dining with the devil.
