Tara Wilson
I like Tara Wilson's cups because the shape of them seems similar to what I was trying to do, originally with this project. I first wanted to make cups that fit to my hand, or were molded to a hand, rather than the traditional, straight edged cup. The way that these cups curve in at the middle, where a persons hand would rest, looks like a comfortable shape to hold. Also the overall shape of the cups is very pleasing to the eye, they are not bottom-heavy, there is lift between the bottom of the cup and the surface that it sits on. The cups are also very aesthetically pleasing because of the curves and soft edges. There are hardly any, sharp angles, so the cup looks comfortable to hold and look at.
