During the process of drawing over 100 still lives of flowers in vases, I found myself compelled to expand the process to include illustrated vessels inspired by Grecian urns. Those sketches turned into this series of sculptures.
This year has found me thinking more about drawing versus sculpture, form vs plane. Grecian urns, and illustrated vessels as a whole, also deal with this tension - where does the art lie, in the surface decoration or in the physical form? How does the relationship between form and illustration affect the impact of the work?
Unlike Grecian urns, and going contrary to basic sculptural theory, my work has a hierarchy of viewpoint - a preferential view much like a drawing, whereas when I was a sculpture major in college I was taught to create work which has no “front” or “back.”
These wire vessels are meant to be mounted on the wall and viewed from the front like two dimensional media, however unlike drawing this work exists in three dimensions, and the works’ sculptural elements are highlighted when the piece is viewed from an angle.
The illustrations themselves build upon my practice of recontextualizing traditional figure drawing poses into subtly narrative scenes via the inclusion of everyday objects. Sometimes I break from the illusion of a contour drawing on an urn, letting the illustrations extend beyond the boundary of the vessel.
