Vessel Forms

My current work explores large scale constructed vessels in copper. The visual characteristics are inspired by ancient clay and fiber vessels. I want my work to evoke the sense of wonder that an archaeologist might have unearthing a new find. Such works have a sense of mystery. Who created them? How were they used? What was it like to live in this culture? It is not the answers to these questions, it is the questions themselves that are important.
