Spin the Table- Aubergine vs Cleaver
This series was for a project called Spin the table which aimed to gain awareness of environmental issues today on the surface of tableware. As a vegetarian I chose to show how a vegetarian diet can be better for the environment than a diet including meat. Being a comic book fan also, I decided to explore this concept with a vegetarian superhero who is working to spread the good word of vegetables throughout the world. To get this message to a wide audience I created a serving plater with accompanying dipping pots, which tell ‘Aubergine’s’ story on their very surface. The shape of these ceramic pieces also mimic the traditional forms of comic book panels.
