Convivium

2008

A communal table draped in linen serves as the foundation for Hutchins' tactile exploration of domestic ritual and human gathering. Bulbous paper maché and ceramic forms cluster across its surface like remnants of a shared meal or fossilized traces of everyday life, blurring the boundaries between furniture, sculpture, and social space. The work's eight-part composition evokes both the intimacy of convivial exchange and the lingering presence of bodies and objects in the spaces we inhabit together.
