A small, near-black handbuilt cup with pinched, uneven walls and a torn rim, its dark charcoal body dusted with pale frost-like speckle and a few powdery light patches. Two round holes are bored straight through opposite walls: in the first photo a green reed is slid through them, held over a workbench; the second photo sets the cup down alone among sibling vessels and buckets in the studio.
What is the reed doing through the cup? It is slid through the two holes pierced in the walls as a staging choice, not part of the piece — the second photo shows the same cup on its own. Piece 1770 of 10,000, listed at $17.70.
