Through stretching the definition of “the vessel”-as body, clothing, building, pot- I am exploring what it means to contain, to hold, to explore volume and to claim space. If vessels act as containers of sustenance, then they must also continue on as transformative objects(emotive physical links) by manipulating space, emotion and material. Investigating the way materials hold each other in order to make sense of their use, I am interested in the structural tension between heaviness and breath, line and solidity, concealment and exposure.
