Vessel Merging
commission - finished work in Feb 2013
a story.
long ago an elder, Greek fisherman gifted an amphora to my father. I never knew the man's name.
The two had a lasting friendship until the day my family left Greece.
As a parting gift the friend presents his amphora as a bond of friendship. It was his prized possession retrieved from the Aegean long ago.
A stunning treasure to gift away. In that parting, a deeper unfolding began to unravel, that which remains with no words yet carries a renewed myth of its own.
As the years pass my parents always honored the vessel in special lite niches of our homes...
Years after art school I found I was rendering vessel shapes - exploring its shape,
its skin and form and essence onto paper . canvas . clay
and still continue to this day.

A myth-ology awakened, to continue a trail of inspiration, beauty and form.
