DescriptionAlfonso studied BA Ceramics at Central Saint Martins. Her work is based on a desire for the user to be deterred by the tools that we use to consume food and not to overindulge. The user will be reminded by the 'faces and body parts of gluttony' on their cutlery: when one looks closer at the tool in hand, one can either be intrigued to indulge further or be deterred from it.
