Second-hand has long ceased to be exclusively a store for the poor, since everyone knows that there you can find good branded items or "raw materials" for your own handicraft experiments. I don’t know if our today's heroine buys clothes in such stores, but she is stocked with dishes for her creativity there.
British artist and designer Karen Ryan loves to visit second-hand shops, so-called "garage" and other sales, delve into the departments for discounted items. Her goal is to find the next porcelain dish, plate or tray. And not at all because she has no money for dishes. Karen creates real works of art from porcelain bowls. Well, or creative interior decorations, if "works of art" sounds too pretentious …
The process of creating creative plates is simple and complex at the same time. Karen Ryan uses a special system to remove decorative painting from porcelain dishes, and she does it in such a way that as a result, once applied pictures turn into letters and symbols.
The artist draws words on the plates that mean feelings and emotions: love, hate, disappointment, fear, guilt, boredom, anger, anger, melancholy … She believes that the rich also cry, and people who once used these plates from expensive, thin porcelain must have had similar feelings. This is how Karen Ryan embodied a whole spectrum of human emotions in a creative porcelain project.
