The Lamb Lettuce of Tartary was a creature proposed as a bridge in evolution between species of flora and fauna in the late C18th. It describes a plant-animal with both animal (lamb-like) and plant (with a stem) characteristics.
With this belief-fantasy loosely in mind a host of inky characters emerged, some of which have been taken and translated into a mould for slip casting and the creation of this vase in porcelain produced by 1882LTD.
Philosophical and theoretical texts morph into small creatures each a population of hierarchical beliefs, identites, customs.
