On January 1st, 2018, I set out to make a vase every day of the year. The vase could be a traditional 3D clay vessel, a sculptural simulacrum of a vase made from fabric construction, a collage made from images found in discarded design magazines and art books, a painting, a drawing – the only requirement was that the daily piece incorporate a vase in some form.The daily vase experiments are often composed from remnants culled from other artist’s studios, the street, from my daily life. These materials are combined to heighten connection. Using vessels as a unifying theme, I explore classical and ancient forms, and connect to the history of archiving, collection and classification.
