Noah Pica, Loose Dish Towels, 2024, Ceramics, 12 x 12 x 12 in (approximately)
Noah Pica seeks to understand the ways in which the infrastructure and products of our designed environments accommodate social definitions of normalcy. They linger on the prefabricated products that feel most forgettable: the yellow pencils on school desks, the lined papers filling notebooks, the collared button-downs that hang in each closet. These objects are so familiar as to be unnoticed, yet their presence is influential. The products are uniform by necessity, letting them anticipate their functions. This uniformity provides convenience – but it fosters conformity as its banal outcome.
