Five Set Conversation Pieces

Commissioned for Manifesta 2, Luxembourg

June 1998 - October 1998

Five bone-china pelves containing fetal skulls, placed in relation to different childbirth positions.

Designs derived from 18th century British adaptations of East Asian porcelain, including Liverpool’s 18th Century china industry, which included commemorations of the maiden voyage of ships leaving the port to engage in colonial trade and directly in the slave trade.
