The concept
The picnic plate cover plays on the idea of an object in a contradictory context :
The aluminium foil is generally used for wrapping a sandwich or to cover a dish ready to be served.
Here, it is used in a gastronomic context and questions both its true consistency and the dish that it conceals.
The plate cover takes pride of place over the dish, as a mineral sculpture, and leaves the contents to the imagination,
a dish as surprising as its mirror exterior.
The top is scrunched into itself, like a pearly oyster shell, enclosing a delicious creation.
