A teapot is like a person standing withone hand on his hip and the other raised above his head. The teapotprovides a re-interpretation of the human body, and the potentialfor humor. The anthropomorphized teapot carries echoes of Westernhumanism, along with reflection on, and response to, human civilization,whether in terms of the manifestation of culture or gender, or thepartial presentation or transformation of the body. How does one goabout bringing out these ideas in a tiny teapot? The artists’ uniquethought-worlds and unlimited creativity await our exploration and appreciation.
