Wedding Stories is an exhibition by Cardiff based American ceramicist Lisa Krigel, interpreting the visual iconography of wedding traditions from around the world. Wedding Stories began with a range of white porcelain ware; teapots, cake stands, cups and saucers, textured with lace and doilies, delicately balanced to form a modern allegory for the precarious excesses of the ‘White Wedding’.
The creation of the eclectic range of work in Wedding Stories has been the result of Lisa’s investigation into wedding practices and customs from different cultures and ages.
Mae Wedding Stories yn arddangosfa gan y seramegydd Americanaidd Lisa Krigel, sydd bellach yn byw a gweithio yng Nghaerdydd, yn dehongli eiconograffeg gweledol traddodiadau priodasol o bob cwr o’r byd. Dechreuodd Wedding Stories gyda chasgliad o lestri porslen gwyn; tebotiau, standiau cacennau, cwpanau a soseri, â gwead les a doilis arnynt, wedi eu gosod i sefyll ar ben ei gilydd yn ofalus i greu dameg fodern am ormodedd sigledig y ‘Briodas Fawr Wen’.
Creu’r casgliad eclectig hwn o ddarnau Wedding Stories fu penllanw ymchwiliad Lisa i arferion a thraddodiadau priodasol o wahanol ddiwylliannau a chyfnodau
