Within the placid confines of a china cabinet, rages a long-standing conflict between the Blues and the Reds. When the Blues decide to sneak in and paint the Reds blue, all bets are off. It's only when they help each other pick up the pieces that they realise they are stronger together.
Based on her own character-filled collection of ceramics, Mrzac creates a moving tale filled with passion and whimsy, reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland and Mixed. Entertaining and sentimental, it is a poignant example of the power that can be found in embracing differences and working together.
