The Cup as Ring series arose from my assertion that everyday objects, (in this case tea cups, spoons and other plastic objects), are designed as ornaments for the human body. Found teacups of melamine plastic, were cut and altered to highlight the wearability built into each handle. This work seeks to reclaim the everyday. My hope is that through common materials and simple techniques, viewers will become reengaged with familiar objects that have become overlooked, bringing enchantment back to our daily life.
