Series 2 /Sunshine Ray + Bryn Foreman

About The Collaboration

This plate is a collaboration between two friends, Sunshine Ray and Bryn Foreman. Bryn created an initial two sided collage as a place mat, that the imagery was then mirrored onto the surface of the plate. When stacked on top of each other, the imagery lines up nearly perfectly to its background. Sunshine’s signature star shape is found as the shape of the plate, with the main image in the collage as an ode to Sunshine’s love of clowns.
