This piece comes from her series “Truth Before Flowers.” This series disentangles histories and traumas to find empowerment through objects of womanhood. In her artist’s statement for this series, Datchuk explains “Porcelain objects inspired by the history of teacups and dinnerware allows me to speak in dualities, especially of fragility and resilience and ultimately the struggle between diversity and the flawless white body. Materials like porcelain and hair have crisscrossed the world and are migrations of identity and have the power to tell stories. In the 1960s and 1970s, textiles and pottery were considered women’s crafts and not art, hobbies taught at community centers, churches, and after school programs.  I often think about how these were taught to women to keep their hands occupied and keep our voices in domestic spaces and out of public spaces.  I want to deconstruct established hierarchies of materials and champion the handmade. There is a lot of shame and isolation in our stories and I am frustrated that we have not overcome more as women. Through pain and perfection, these objects amplify female voices, reconstruct our identities, and celebrate our truths.”
