Four Color Mugs - Feed Your Head
a collaboration with Polly Apfelbaum
Merging Polly’s iconic use of color and Gregg’s broad technical ceramic skills, Four Color Mugs represents the 100 glaze colors developed during the residency. Co-designed, this limited edition of 100 mugs is offered in unique glaze color families chosen by Polly. Four colors rotate in application on a family of four of Gregg’s wheel-thrown porcelain mugs.
The 100 mugs together are a joyful group, like a community joined in laughter and celebration . Coinciding with the return to many of life’s celebrations after a long, often isolating pandemic, the project represents not only the perspective of two artists, but the beauty and energy of people and a community that comes alive when brought together.
The 100 mugs were shown alongside 3 color charts in a show titled “Feed Your Head”at 56 Henry Street, January 25 - March 5, 2023.
