Slip cast stoneware sculpture with ceramic decals & 24k gold lustre.
Poor Cow": A Collection of Slip Cast stoneware Cows & Illustrated Porcelain Milk Bottles.
The cow with its M-logo legs was inspired by a visit to family in Jamaica where, in Montego Bay, the first MacDonald's had opened. In a neighbouring field stood a solitary cow. The process of making this collection informed her conceptual development, leading her to think about our consumption of the cow and its environmental impact.
The seated cow's base is modelled directly from a real cow's tongue, purchased from a local butcher. Handling a cow's tongue to make its mould was grotesque to Claudette, a meat eater. Thus, the beautiful cow on top of the hideous tongue represents the contradictions in our everyday choices.
The pieces are adorned with her illustrations - a contemporary twist on the traditional blue and white Willow Pattern - depicting scenes and people in Peckham, South London, where she lives.
