Lucy + Jorge Orta: 70 x 7 The Meal Act XXXV

This limited edition plate was designed exclusively for Yorkshire Sculpture Park to coincide with the artists’ 2013 YSP exhibition. The inspiration for this work derives from Lucy + Jorge Orta’s expedition to the Peruvian Amazon and drawings from their Amazonia series.

This important exhibition of new and critically acclaimed work by Lucy + Jorge Orta revolved around the theme of water, which is central to the Ortas’ practice. The exhibition launched the major new artwork, The Raft of Medusa and a new life-sized bronze for the open air from the Ortas’ ongoing Spirits series.

The verse on the plate is taken from the artists’ film Amazonia, written by eco-poet Mario Petrucci. Royal Limoges porcelain has been used in the production of this edition, created with a four-colour enamel process with platinum silver accents. Each plate is inscribed with the original artists’ drawings and is signed and numbered on the reverse.
