Ceramist Jenna Stantonhas salvaged and saved favourite domestic objects for as long as she can remember. The forms and functions of these objects and the nostalgic sentiments around them work their way into her contemporary practice, into practical, clever and elegant designs for an array of ceramic household vessels and accessories. The porcelain desktop water decanters with silkscreened enamel decals and hand-painted underglazes in her Pour Me series are inspired by vintage thermoses and historic Medalta whiskey jugs, with the patterns humorously referring to the practice of self-medicating.
