art | beccy ridsdel

i fell in love with these sculptural pieces by beccy ridsdel when i first saw them on colossal. the way this artist has created a hidden world within ceramic dining ware makes me feel as though i am being let on one of the greatest secrets. looking at the repetitive floral and ditsy innards of these pieces, whose outer shell has been peeled back with surgical tools is reminiscent of a child's imagination. though you'll be hard pressed to find a five year old who maintains such an interest in his or her grandmother's "special holiday plates" - i'll bet this is how they would imagine the "guts." view more works here, and purchase some (for awesome prices!) here.
