Kelp Garden is a handmade dinner plate by Hannah Banciella. It belongs to Marry the Mundane to the Sacred, the collection Banciella created for The Fire Eaters, titled after a line from Robin Wall Kimmerer's Braiding Sweetgrass. Ceremony runs through her work, and here an everyday object becomes the setting for one: a shared meal.
Shaped and painted by hand, the plate carries a large painted panel crowded with kelp blades, feathery fronds, seed pods, and a small star-shaped bloom in layered greens over umber, filling the center of a cream plate. The collection draws on sea life and landscape; some pieces grow from Banciella's paintings, others are studies of shape and pattern. It was created for The Fire Eaters, the inaugural Feria Clandestina Artists Residency dinner in Miami, where it held the evening's main course.
A functional work of art, where the mundane and the sacred meet at the table.
