Artwork Description
Serving vessels often take center stage in a social gathering. Gwendolyn yoppolo’s scoopbowl service encourages mindful interaction: as people share from this bowl, they also share space and each other’s attention. Yoppolo developed an opalescent glaze that varies under different lights, creating ever-changing perceptions of the artwork and perhaps encouraging the same of each other.
