All of us, with or without artistic talents, can enjoy this exhibition! The exhibits are everyday objects like tea sets, clocks, and vases. The artists give these objects a new twist on the appearance. It is definitely eye-opening to find plates with a tea set with designs printed upside down, or flasks with imperfections. The artists' message behind these new designs is explained in the display. We learn new ideas and appreciate the artwork so much more (as compared to OCAD's graduation show in May).
I especially like the mugs with velvets cutouts of interesting design. The velvet cutouts cover areas so you can hold the mug with hot contents. They also serve to challenge your sense of touch, while you satisfy your taste buds. What a harmonious marriage of functionality and design! Who say we have to accept the status quo and give up on our ideals?!
