OH, YOU POOR LITTLE THING.

Porcelain

Varied sizes

2023

Made from blue porcelain, partly scattered with white chamotte, the shapes are combined from various designs of pacifiers (shield and handle) and buttplugs (head). The texts on the surface are imprinted with alphabet pasta:

FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

I ACTUALLY LIKE THAT IDEA

YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT

YOU SEEM TO BE A VERY SMART GIRL

YOU HAVE NEVER GOTTEN THAT RIGHT

I recently became interested in the use of “Baby Talk” among non-infants. Cutified, even infantilized expressions are shared in the talks between parents and kids, in the role play of lovers and government's strategic communication techniques. For this series, the quotes are selected from the most common patronizing types of speaking used in workplaces.  

Caution: Gaze with caring eyes, or use at your own risk. Either way, pleasure is guaranteed.
