death by chocolate

Title: Kitschen and Dish

Media: Clay, Installation, Paintings, Collage

Artists: Gina DeSantis and Natalie Lanese

Description:

Kitschen and Dish is the culmination of work produced by Natalie Lanese and Gina DeSantis during their first year of graduate work in fine arts. Natalie’s work, comprising the “kitschen” portion of the show, delves into the theme of domesticity. All based on collage and installation, she explores home decoration, icons of domestic life, and life within the household.

Gina’s “dishes” focus on functional objects with attention to surface decoration. She creates wheel-thrown molds which have been carved to create raised designs on the pieces. This allows her to create an infinite amount of objects with the same design yet each piece remains unique in its shape and size. Gina will be showing a variety of sets and individual objects created for use in the home.
