<p><span>Drawing inspiration from The Wu Xing (Chinese: 五行; pinyin:
wǔxíng), or the Five Movements, we enclosed the historic Chinese<br />
philosophy into the tea set and express them through forms,<br />
materials and symbols. <a href=<br />

<p><span><strong>Bifei Cao:</strong> By researching the
characteristics of Yixing clay teapots, I created the tea set <br />
that incorporated the size of Yixing teapots with Western<br />
contemporary metalsmithing concepts and techniques. These forms<br />
that I created are drawn from the nature, which relected the idea<br />
of five elements; clouds float in the air; trees grow up from land<br />
developing with human-made buildings mutually. Everything is<br />
related but also restrainted with each other in the<br />
world. </span></p>
<p><span><strong>Adam R. Criscuolo:</strong> Being a
furniture designer and woodworker, I was intrigued when Bifei<br />
introduced the Wu Xing 5 element theory of the world, which<br />
included wood. Having grown up with the backdrop of dense New<br />
England foliage, wood is thoroughly woven into the fabric of my<br />
subconscious- and is among other things, a key source of<br />
inspiration, and choice material. The diagram shown above was<br />
a great platform to work off of. Being a functional piece<br />
first, I allowed the parameters of a basic tea set guide the design<br />
of the piece. The breakdown of elements into abstracted<br />
geometric forms created natural platforms for each element that<br />
Bifei produced in metal. </span></p>

<p><span>Our goal was to create a piece that combines both Andrew’s
interest in Damascus and Sun’s work in wire framework. We decided<br />
to use materials that we each have an affinity for; forge welded<br />
steel and sterling silver. We chose a spoon, which is one of the<br />
most basic flatware utensils. Since we selected a basic item, we<br />
intended to highlight contrast and absurdity: using steel for the<br />
spoon instead of silver, and adding a wire-form handle to the<br />
spoon. We tried to create an aesthetic contrast between the classic<br />
decorative spoon design and architectural geometric wire frame<br />
handle. </span></p>

Statement:</strong></span></span></p>
<p>Sarah and I started our collaboration with a phone brainstorming
session. We talked about how we could create a piece which<br />
dealt with a contemporary meal and tableware setting while<br />
incorporating the culture where we resided together in 2009,<br />
Milwaukee Wisconsin. After pondering our lifestyles<br />
in <span class="yshortcuts" id=<br />
"lw_1308229689_7">Wisconsin</span>, fried food quickly came to mind<br />
as a staple of midwestern meals due to the boom<br />
of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1308229689_8">fast food<br />
chains</span> which have rapidly spread across rural lands.<br />
We decided to stick to our Wisconsin similarities and focused<br />
on creating a piece which incorporated the classic<br />
Milwaukee <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1308229689_9">Friday<br />
night</span> fish fry held weekly at every local diner and<br />
church. "Home Fried" is an absurd take on eating a meal where<br />
every piece of the meal including the drink and utensils are all<br />
fried together. It displays two pieces of fish, a mound of<br />
crinkle fries, a single lemon wedge, a fork and knife, and a soda<br />
emerging from the top of a hinged steel wire fry basket.</p>

<p> </p>
<p><span>As two artists who typically work in materials such as
silver, copper, brass, found objects, and even latex, we approached<br />
this call for entry as an opportunity to explore a process and<br />
material new to both of us. We branched out of our preferred<br />
personal aesthetics and opted to meet in the middle to make one<br />
object for the table. We collaborated throughout the entire<br />
process, from brainstorming, design of the object, and execution of<br />
the final product. In working with a new material, polystyrene, and<br />
a new process, vacuum forming, we encountered obstacles that<br />
challenged us to work together to problem solve. The final result<br />
is a unified piece, created by the <i>flux</i> of two artists<br />
combined efforts and true <i>co:operation</i>. </span></p>

Statement:</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Elliot Gaskin and Nick
Mullins came together for the first time to collaborate for<br />
Co:Operation Tableware. Both artists brought their strengths to the<br />
table. Mullins’s personal aesthetic is loose and intuitive while<br />
Gaskin’s is tight and modular. Together the team created a<br />
collection of five pieces titled Primiware. With a sense of humor<br />
and shared interest in organic materials the artists worked<br />
together in constructing each piece of Primiware. The collection<br />
includes a fork, knife, melon baller, whisk and spaghetti<br />
spoon. </span></p>
