Pappot

Porridge. Milk, oatmeal, and if you're lucky, some honey or other sweets to make it more delicious. Because of the amount of fiber and how filling it is, it's a good start to your day. What do you like in your porridge? This pot makes some very special porridge. Have you discovered the buttocks yet?

Artists have loved to depict people naked for centuries. There are also quite some bare buttocks in art. In prehistoric statues, shapes are enlarged. The Greeks and Romans also loved buttocks. Both women's buttocks and men's buttocks. Although the Greeks ultimately preferred the naked man because they thought women were not perfect.

Chemistry involves research into the composition of substances. A chemist looks at the changes that substances undergo. They investigate how substances react to each other. Research is often done in a laboratory. Cooking is actually a kind of chemistry. Your kitchen is therefore a laboratory. The food you cook consists of all kinds of components. Your kitchen utensils are just like the instruments of a chemist: they help you with your research. Cooking, baking and frying are all chemical processes. Making a new recipe can be exciting. You don't know yet whether it will work and whether it tastes good.

Craftsmanship please George has advocated for craftsmanship in schools. He thought it was a great pity that the subject increasingly faded into the background, sometimes even abolished. While the computer and the virtual have increasingly come to the foreground. George was afraid that children were forgetting how to use their hands. To literally be handy.

George has transformed all kinds of kitchen utensils into physical beings. Provided with human forms, such as breasts, bellies, buttocks, genitals.

For a while, people cooked with pans made of aluminum. At one point, people believed that aluminum caused dementia. Research has been done to see if there is a link between aluminum and Alzheimer's disease. That turns out not to be the case.

Aluminum has no special meaning for George. Before he started working with it, he wanted to get to know the material. And master it, so that he knew how to handle it. George made wing-like shapes in which fertility forms were reflected. Aluminum turned out to be a very labor-intensive material. Not a material that you can quickly make something beautiful from.

It is important for an artist to know what he is doing. Every brushstroke a painter makes can ruin the painting. Sculptors also have to be careful. George must have known very well how to get the buttocks to where they are now. If he had gone too far, it would have failed. He would have had to start all over again. In fact, you could say that every act an artist performs balances on the edge of failure and success. Like a tightrope walker.

Think about whether you would like to eat from this pan, or use it to cook food. Whether you experience the taste differently because it is such a human pan.

What is your "comfort food"?
