Waterford-based artist Sean Corcoran wants us to think differently about excess of all kinds, through the medium of unwanted mugs, jugs and plates
Look in the back of your presses and you’ll probably find specimens emblazoned with “Be Brave!”, “Best Dad Ever!”, “You’ve Got This!” or “With love from Croatia!” Who hasn’t given a novelty mug as a gift or received one?
Novelty items and ill-thought-out purchases add to the stuff problem in our homes. These items are costing us money, space and contributing to the climate crisis. It’s part of Action on Climate Targets Waterford . ACT supports artists and creatives in Waterford to spur thinking around climate change in their communities. It is funded by the Government’s Creative Climate Action Fund.
Some 75 participants are taking part in Sean’s Mosaic Masterclass to create it. Over the coming weeks they will assemble 250 separate panels which will feature unwanted and broken crockery from the cupboards of what seems like nearly every home in the county.
