Empty Vessels
These invented drawings of ideal bowls and vases are created with marker on vinyl fabric. In these drawings I am exploring the metaphor of the empty container as a vessel waiting to be filled or having the potential to be filled, or fulfilled. Throughout history and literature the idea of the empty vessel appears as theme based on the human condition, and often refers to the human potential to be filled with knowledge, nourishment, or spirituality. For me, the empty vessel simply signifies the intrinsic framework of possibility, and these stacks and rows of bowls show the vast number of vessels waiting to be filled.
