that polo shirt seems rather impractical for playing polo.

Clever, but this is kind of a one-trick pony, yes?

Delmoi: think of it as armor.

DU: no, first you'd have to fill it with juice.

One-trick pony? [Your favorite artist] was a one-trick pony, my friend. Even porcelain dishes alone are pretty exquisite, delicate and beautiful to look at, they attest to the time and care put into their making, even if they're all just a buncha fuckin' dishes.

Crumpled cans, televisions, guns? ... I would like to see these in a dining-room china-cabinet, somewhere.

This is done to stunning and non-ironic effect by Ah Xian, who creates life sized porcelain figures and busts then has them decorated by regional craftspeople. His full size cloisonné figure (cloisonné explained for those unaware of the work involved) is breathtaking.

Thank you fire&wings for the excellent contribution to the thread. Those sculptures by Ah Xian are really beautiful.
