Vessel

Summary

Vessel is part of a collective exhibition entitled Sightlines curated by Shelly Leavans. Inspired by the BUSTER SIMPSON // SURVEYOR retrospective exhibition at the Frye Art Museum, // SIGHTLINES presents the perspectives of five Seattle artists on the build-up of the detritus of a life lived and our choices about what to save (or document) and what to toss.

Project Description

Vessel
Inside the Steele gallery, I discovered concealed behind doors and movable walls, three storage spaces. Neglected worlds, filled with objects perhaps donated, misplaced, or simply left there for decades. In these forgotten and newly discovered spaces, I filled the void with some of my possessions. Physical remains of ideas stacked upon each other awaking aspects of dormant awareness.

On display in the doorways:
Vessel, Loss and Sacrifice, Companion.
