Kitchen Table Allegory
Jessica Jackson Hutchins
Contemporary Art
Incorporating a well-worn wooden table and a misshapen ceramic bowl, Jessica Jackson Hutchins’s Kitchen Table Allegory uses design objects to create a sculpture that evokes the private world of the home. The table served Hutchins and her family until she decided to use it as the plate for a series of prints that were initially presented with the sculpture. Personal without devolving into the confessional, the work situates the source of creative inspiration within the familial and the everyday.
