Joana Vasconcelos

Clementine, 2007, ceramic and cotton (hand-crocheted)

We got a postcard for Joana Vasconcelos' show at the Rena Bransten Gallery several months ago; this striking piece was on the front. I like so many elements of this piece - the contrasting colors and textures, the symbolism of wrapping and adorning, the shapes and patterns. This crocheted doily pattern is insane - she has some serious engineering skills.
