Michelle Erickson in Ceramics Monthly: Projecting A Hypothetical Future; Reflecting on a Problematic Past
The catalyst to Erickson’s recent, historically attired commentary on contemporary issues was a 2012 stint as an artist-in-residence at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A). By chance, the daily opportunity to browse the world’s most extensive collection of decorative art coincided with the pervasive buzz of summer Olympics mania then electrifying the city. The result was an ingenious hybridization in which Erickson’s reflections would link the “proliferation of pattern” in the context of contemporary Nike Flyknit athletic shoes to globalization of the English pottery industry in the 18th century.
