This exceptional multi-piece installation sets a sophisticated benchmark within modern ceramics, showcasing three unique designer porcelain vessels that elevate everyday functional forms into gallery-grade sculpture. The hand-built silhouettes embrace organic, asymmetrical contours that pay homage to the wide hips and plump bellies celebrated in ancient fertility totems. Wrapped in a rich, multi-layered cobalt underglaze, the clay bodies are intricately carved using the sgraffito technique to reveal geometric tribal patterns and dense calligraphic poetry. As the text flows and breaks across the separate objects, Hodge masterfully visualizes a commentary on the historically fragmented records of women's private narratives, offering an irreplaceable treasure for selective collectors.
 
The designlady cups reference the ancient tradition of feminine totems and goddess figures with their plump bellies and wide hips. In contrast to contemporary beauty ideals, these figures demonstrate the capacity for life and abundance that used to be celebrated. By covering large sections of their forms with her own poetic text, she fills them with a narrative of love, each poem spilling from one cup to the next. The continuity across feminine forms reflects the way that women’s stories are often fragmented by culture and time.
