Containers for Intangibles

My muse: bringing together the ancient human tradition of ceremonial vessel making and the significantly older tradition of capturing abstract emotions, myths and offerings in sacred sculptural effigies, fashioned in reverence before being surrendered to the fire.

These Urns, Amphorae, Containers and Flasks stand as sculptural, tactile reminders to give honor and presence to the emotional and spiritual, that is, the intangible qualities of Life.

My titles are beginnings for your own reactions to each piece. Feel free to rename in your heart.
