Flesh and Flowers ceramic tray
A signed ceramic tray from Blocca Studio, released in an edition of 150. It holds jewellery, candy, tobacco, keys, or nothing at all, while carrying a story about appetite, nature and restraint.
Edition of 150. Signed, boxed, released once.
Three layers of the story
Flesh and Flowers began as an exhibition universe: flesh, flowers, teeth, gloss and appetite gathered into one digital garden. It looked at the way people and nature shape each other, feed each other, and occasionally overdo it.
Blocca then pulled that universe into the physical world through posters, tests, a chair and finally this ceramic tray. The tray is the small one, made to live on a table and hold the things we keep reaching for.
The exhibition began as a digital universe where body and nature were tangled together. Flowers looked bodily, surfaces looked edible, and beauty was never completely innocent.
Posters, prototypes and studio tests gave the universe weight. What started as images became something you could touch, pack, sign and live with.
The tray takes its shape from the Flesh and Flowers chair: part seat, part mouth, part flower. It holds jewellery, candy and tobacco with a little appetite, while reminding us that objects are pleasures, not proof of who we are.
For the little cravings
Use it for jewellery, candy, tobacco, keys, fruit or table objects. Leave it empty when it needs to breathe. The tray is a reminder that wanting beautiful things is human, and that wanting is easier to live with when it has a place to rest.
