George Stoll
I consider Tupperware a fascinating window into the American domestic landscape. The company began marketing in1948 and I collected examples from second hand stores for a few years in the early 90s. By recasting the, nearly indestructible, plastic originals into fragile wax, my goal was to reconsider Tupperware’s function. Over the years, as I have periodically revisited Tupperware as a subject, my focus has developed into a way for me to reconsider the colors of our collective memories.
