MULTIMEDIA ART
Artist Eddie Dominguez, of New
Mexico, demonstrates that a din-
nerware set is art. His colorful ce-
ramic groupings can be taken apart
and rearranged. He places the ce-
ramics in a wood and metal window
box or cupboard display. He began
this art form by attempting to create
a dinnerware set about painting. He
thought of Matisse, Picasso and
Motherwell while working.
"It's a setting in an environment,"
says Janis Wetsman of the Wets-
man Collection. 'The workmanship
is wonderful, and the product is de-
lightful."
There will be a special exhibit of
his work from November 11-18 at
The Wetsman Collection.
Merchandise available at The
Wetsman Collection, Birmingham.
