This is one of a set of six paper cups designed for Imprint, a public art project organised by the Print Center, Philadelphia, in 2002. Artists were invited to produce imagery for billboards, bus shelters and magazine inserts as well as cups. Here the throwaway paper cup is transformed by print into a modest work of art, which was used in selected cafés in the city during the project.
