Rib 16X Thin Yellow Cornice Vessel by Lenny Stopp Dimensions: D 12 x H 30 cm Materials: Alpha crystalline gypsum (Hard plaster) Cornice is an evolving collection of vessels born from a deep exploration of the traditional craft of running cornice. For centuries, this technique has adorned interiors and exteriors with intricate plasterwork, carrying with it a legacy of ornamentation often perceived as antiquated. However, in reimagining this method, a compelling dialogue emerges between past and present. By honoring the historical essence of the craft while reshaping its purpose, these contemporary forms transcend mere decoration. The process involves crafting hollow molds and substituting traditional plaster with alpha crystalline gypsum, allowing these once-static embellishments to become functional objects. In this transformation, the technique is not only revived but redefined, shedding its association with obsolescence and finding new relevance in the modern world.
