Collector Plate
Thanks to Chris Cowans for donating his awesome piece titled “Collector Plate.” He describes it as such:
“How do we decide a thing is valuable? What makes an object “collectible”? This art piece seeks to provoke these questions. The overly-ornate script lettering applied in metallic gold foil on an otherwise ordinary dinner plate declares itself to be desirable. Devoid of taste and material value, the plate is part of an open edition — so not even its scarcity can give it worth. It is part satire, part commentary and part crass commercial venture.”
