Maxwell Mustardo's Anthropophorae series reimagines ancient Roman amphorae, amplifying their understated charm and anthropomorphic qualities to craft fluorescent vessels that resonate with contemporary sensibilities.
By working within simple constraints, such as the format of the mug, vase, or torus, I explore orchestrating elements of surface, form, materiality, and function.
The series reflects a reverence for tradition, paired with a drive to disrupt and reframe it as a symbol of human culture with new perspectives.
Many projects revolve around broad, reverential notions of the vessel, the body, and language, treating the vessel not merely as an object, but as an animate participant in human history.
