Rina Nguyen and Lilliana Shafer felt compelled to create work inspired by the nostalgic imagery of their childhood. Lilliana was inspired by a poster she bought at the book fair in elementary school depicting a kitten dreaming of something bigger for itself. Rina was also influenced by the poster, the shape of the plate taking on the form of a cloud.
Rina Nguyen is a multimedia artist based in Indianapolis, IN. After earning a BFA in Ceramics from the University of Indianapolis, she continues to utilize her skills to teach hand-building and wheel throwing classes at studios throughout the city. Passionate about making art accessible, Rina is dedicated to creating a space where people of all backgrounds can explore creativity and self-expression through clay and mixed media.
Lilliana Shafer is an Indianapolis artist. Her range of work includes ceramics, illustration, and collage. She draws inspiration from nostalgia and the same dozen songs she listens to over and over again.
This plate was made as one of the 18 table settings in the Indy Makers Dinner Series, By The Hand. By The Hand combines art, cuisine, and community for a unique dining experience.
