I love type. Alphabet soup came to mind – letters floating in a pot, but more visual if pouring out of the pot. I used wire mesh as the pouring liquid and suspended a collection of colorful, plastic refrigerator letters in it. Above the pot I added “Soup du Jour” (Soup of The Day), and spelled the days of the week pouring from the pot, although they have a more unstructured look because of the undulations of the wire liquid. So, I was able to give them context and yet gain the feeling of random letters floating in liquid. The pot was found in a salvage yard and painted to resemble a paint-spatter enamel pan. The spoon was added to give a sense of things caught in a moment of falling. The pot is mounted on a stove’s gas-burner grate.
