Ceramic Flower Brick 026, 2024

McDonald's series of six Ceramic Flower Bricks are substantial in scale, able to hold large clusters of flowers, and display more subdued creamy stone and ochre glazes.

As before, their forms reference historical stoves and vases from the Metropolitan Museum of Art as well as bricks and tiles from American ceramic factories.

McDonald's slab-constructions and extruded ornamentation recall industrial modes of production, but the Ceramic Flower Brick is imprecisely unique.
