One single cup: Uncle Ben’s, converted cup (orange stripe at bottom), 2001 66/ 200

saucer: in soft browns “Uncle Ben’s, always cooks up white and fluffy”

liquid level: “Never let your eyes deceive you from the truth”

Pre-printed steel from recycled “tin containers”, brass handle, gold rivets, concealed magnet

The messages in this cup resonate more than ever. The awareness of racial prejudice, social inequality and health care disparities have become more evident, documented by video and statistics.

Available for purchase or exhibition. This is a signature cup in the series of 200 cups made between 2000-2004.
