Gail Busch’s Cameroon is a whimsical reimagining of the traditional teapot form. Composed of earthenware clay, the vessel has two stacked lids identical in shape to the base form of the teapot, but scaled down in size in a nesting-doll manner. Each element has been glazed in a checkerboard pattern of rich green, red, and yellow suggested by the Cameroon flag, with additional areas of black and brown. The piece exemplifies Busch’s sculptural approach to pottery, which, she says, blurs “the sometimes meaningless distinction between the concepts of representation and presentation.”
