Umber Garland is a handmade appetizer 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 cream garland of leafy fronds, fine sprigs, and lacy lotus pods circling a deep umber plate, with a ghost of darker dotted vines beneath. 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 first course.
A functional work of art, where the mundane and the sacred meet at the table.
