Ceramic Pot
I chose this pot because I really like how simple yet elegant it is. I love the texture and how the folds appear all around. I'm not sure how this pot was made, maybe pinch, but it was defiantly carved out.
Judy Chicago Dinner Party Plate
The plate above was made by Judy Chicago and was included in the dinner party. The Dinner Party was multi-faceted in that her goal was to introduce the richness of women’s heritage into the culture in a number of ways which included a monumental work of art. The work of art, that was eventually housed at the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum, consists of a series of Entryway Banners, the ceremonial table representing 39 important historical female figures, the Heritage Panels, which elucidate the contributions of the 999 women on the Heritage Floor, and the Acknowledgement Panels that identify Judy Chicago’s assistants and collaborators. Together, these components celebrate the many aspects of women’s history and contributions. This plate was dedicated to Elizabeth Blackwell, who was notable for being the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States. I like this piece due to the stacking and different colors used.
