"Vessel" - Current Projects

The "Vessel" vessels are designed to be used as product bottles- either perfume or some other substance- that sit in a small rack, rather like test tubes. Called "vessels" because I wanted their open end to look something like blood vessel, carrying precious cargo. These were a sand cast project, meaning that the middle object you can see here was turned on a lathe in wood, which I then packed an investment of sand around to form a vessel shaped hollow. Then I poured molten brass into the cavity to form the final object. On the left is a failed cast, the right is the beautiful final result.
