Jason Huff’s Ceramic Spray-Paint Cans
While researching the genealogy of aerosol paint cans for the previous post, I happened upon Jason Huff’s 2003 “Spray-Paint Cans” project. Handmade ceramic versions of aerosol cans. (The nozzle stems are made of cathode wire.) Not an up-cycled modern can, but a cargo-cult like re-creation. Aerosol-can replicas made using the ancient packaging method of antiquity. (i.e. clay) Not functional vessels, except perhaps as reliquary containers. But what miraculous contents might such containers contain? (The Faith of Graffiti)?
(Two more of Huff’s ceramic spray-paint cans, after the fold…)

How do you know the box belonged to the mother or that the mother placed the child there?
Diane, Thanks for your comment. You make a very good point about any assumptions we (or the media) might make about the origins of the box. (We don’t know who’s wearing the shoes that came in that box.) It seems likely, however, that it was the mother who made the painful decision of leaving the baby somewhere to be found, don’t you think?
Whether she can or cannot afford to buy expensive shoes, she shouldn’t have left the child. We know there are people who really cannot control themselves but I hope they learn to be responsible.
nice shoes thanks for sharing..i have seen lot of variety at DC Shoes uk…check this out
