Mouse and Cheese '23

Fired ceramic with glossy and matte glazes

This three-piece interactive sculpture functions beautifully as a whimsical salt and pepper shaker set on a matching display base. The sculpture features a glossy, hand-modeled brown mouse holding a small morsel, alongside a matte-finished yellow cheese wedge that detaches from the larger block. Designed to fit together like a puzzle, the mouse and the individual cheese slice contain integrated shaker holes, transforming a playful kitchen item into a functional, sculptural narrative. The work continues an ongoing exploration of nostalgic storybook characters, combining functional utility with approachable, character-driven animal art.
