While I was working at Research House, I was also going to school. I had a class with artist Andy Patton in which we discussed Giorgio Morandi and how he would paint the same bottles over and over again. Andy then turned to the class and said while holding up a coffee cup "could you imagine painting one thing for your entire carrier, hell even just for one semester. Something like, a coffee cup?"
I not only was up for the challenge but was already ready for it. I had already made coffee cup based artwork in the past and had a feeling I would keep it up. I approached Andy after class and said to him, "I know we are suppose to make 2 major works based on 2 readings during the semester, but if I chose the Morandi reading would I be able to carry it over to the next project?" He gave me the go ahead and I was off to make coffee cup art.
Here is a selection of the coffee cups made while at work making them part of the Enveronicle Chronicle.
