胶囊
Patchwork Pill
2011
艺术家Amy Rueffert的现代仿古艺术作品灵感来自维多利亚时期的装饰艺术品，她的作品《胶囊》表面用花卉、婴儿、家畜和美女图案加以装饰，同时还融入了做工精致的藤工艺品容器图案和摘自食谱和圣经章节的文字以及其他精巧细节。将这些赏心悦目的形象和图案以诗意化的方式进行拼接，很容易令人联想到那个时代，同时也证明了女性在社会中的重要地位。
Amy Rueffert’s modern-day curios are inspired by Victorian decorative art objects. Images of flowers, babies, domesticated animals and pin-up girls adorn the surfaces of Rueffert’s Patchwork Pill, along with sections cut from intricately patterned cane-worked vessels and text taken from recipes and bible verses, adding another dimension of preciousness to the work. This playfully poetic patchwork of imagery and pattern refers to another time while also commenting on women’s roles in society.
