interactive installation (napkins in box are removable like tissues for visitors to take home) – screenprint on linen and paper, copper wire, tool box, ceramic pitcher
installation adaptable to space
pitcher the verge of a waterfall explores care, generosity, and the movement of nourishment beyond the boundaries of the gallery. The installation centers on vessels and domestic forms traditionally associated with serving, gathering, and providing. From the wall-mounted pitcher, printed napkins flow outward and into a wooden box where visitors are invited to take them home. More than 350 hand-printed napkins were folded and presented like tissues, transforming the installation into an act of distribution. The work extends beyond representation by offering visitors an object designed for use rather than observation alone. The napkins become carriers of care, intended to move into homes, kitchens, lunchboxes, and daily routines, continuing their journey long after the exhibition ends. The title suggests a moment of abundance and release. The pitcher becomes a source rather than a container, while the cascade of printed napkins references both water and the ongoing flow of giving that sustains families and communities. The domestic objects participate in acts of care – nourishment often taking shape through small, practical gestures that are shared, used, and passed from one person to another.
