Cinderella with the Pots and the Pans
Manolo says, this intriguing photo from the Yahoo of the artwork entitled Cinderella, inspired the Manolo to look up the person who produced this work, the Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos.
And mira! She has done several pieces like this!
Here is Dorothy.
And what is the unusual material from which these giant shiny shoes are constructed?
It is the stainless steel pots and pans and their lids! Most delightfully clever, indeed!
Oh my! The reflection, it blinds.
*topples*
Et bien!
I saw her installation of Priscilla in the Jardin des Tuilleries. Can you imagine a better place for a sculpture of a D’Orsay shoe made out of cooking pots? The French love for fashion and food, all in one piece!
