Teapot (wheel thrown, adapted, bisque firing, glazes, high fired), unfunctionalized with metal wire sponged with yellow acrylic paint.
The unbirthday song from the mad hatter from Alice in Wonderland is one inspiration for this artpiece.
The other one is the struggle the artist faces with her confrontational art style and unwritten reglementations of the urban austrian artworld of undistinguished artists. Here, a sense of beauty without criticism or ambivalence is often required to fit in and to be able to show your pieces to the public. Artpieces that do not fit will often be described as "obscene" by the viewers.
The written reglementations of austrian law play also play a role in this sculptural art piece: A ceramic artist is not allowed to create teapots in austria. Only a qualified ceramicist (3 year apprenticeship) with a costly proof of foodsafety of the materials may create those.
