Artist Statement
I use fine china as a cultural lens to explore relationships: personal and economic. I view the table as a platform for interaction--from conversation to negotiation. I set the table strategically to examine desire, etiquette, and the power of objects in our lives as totems and commodities. Printmaking and the multiple allow me to reference the reiteration of objects and ideas in our culture.
BIO: Melissa Haviland is an artist and educator whose artwork straddles the boundaries between printmaking and installation-performance. She explores lineage, ritual, and practice within objects that are gendered and classed, like fine china, which have both feminine and upper-class connotations.
