Addicted to pots
Erika Koch Arroyo’s solo exhibit opened yesterday, 12 May, at the Pinto Art Museum in Antipolo.
Art, Function and Fantasy from Fired Earth features ceramic art pieces such as teapots, masks and bowls. Whimsical and provocative, they seem to be taunting the viewer: “We have personality, do you?”
Suddenly matching china seems unspeakably boring. Why should all your plates, cups and saucers be of the same design? Are the people at your table clones of each other?
Erika, a cat person, also makes jewelry. We’re looking forward to the rings and earrings especially. Love the idea of wearing fired earth.
Noel bought this teapot that looks like a candelabrum. Those are cups.
The exhibit runs until 2 June 2013. Here’s a map to Pinto Art Museum.
Make it a day trip. See Erika’s exhibit, wander through the gardens, look at the art in the galleries (A restorative for your eyes after months of hideous campaign posters), have a drink at Siraulo cafe. You need a break.
