Elegant Pissing



Seen recently on a blog called pruned that covers all manner of interesting events reputedly related to landscape architecture.


This elegant pissoir is one of a series made by Clark Sorensen in San Francisco. These large-scale flowers and shells, deftly crafted of high fire porcelain, are arrestingly beautiful and create a whimsical marriage between beauty and functionality. The strange blend of lyric form and unmentionable men’s bathroom fixture has been described as unsettling, humorous and inspired. Each sculpture is meticulously hand built and one-of-a-kind.


I wonder what Marcel Duchamp would make of it?
