Another Old One - Ceramics

I've been going through all my old files and I found this one from 1st year as well. It was looking at the use of ceramics and how perceptions of things change only on the material it is made from. A plastic bottle, probably one of the most disposable items of all, is cast in ceramic to give it a permanence and make it seem a bit more precious, whilst still holding the aesthetic of the bottle. I also sort of, cut and paste parts of the bottles together as this also gave it a slightly new meaning as an object as this suggested it should be poured from like a teapot. Drinking tea from a teapot is a really nice occasion and suggests sharing, which is much nicer than the usual on-the-go use of a plastic bottle.
