Threshold (Held in the Body)

A hand-built sculptural vessel exploring transformation, memory and the moments that alter us.

Moths emerge across the surface of the form as symbols of transition — creatures drawn instinctively toward change, carrying associations with metamorphosis, intuition and the unseen forces that shape a life. Positioned between departure and arrival, they become guardians of the threshold itself: the space between who we were and who we are becoming.

The vessel draws upon ancient ceremonial forms while incorporating recurring motifs found throughout my practice. Repetition, ornamentation and hand-built detail create a sense of rhythm and continuity, while the dark metallic surface evokes the feeling of an excavated relic — something precious, weathered and carried forward through time.

Created coil by coil over many hours, Threshold (Held in the Body) reflects an ongoing fascination with sacred object-making, permanence, and the traces of human presence embedded within handmade things.

Each vessel exists as a unique original and will not be reproduced.

Created as a sculptural artwork. While capable of functioning as a vessel, this work is intended primarily as a collectible ceramic object.

Each vessel is hand-built individually and carries the subtle variations inherent to handmade work. These qualities are considered part of the character and authenticity of the piece. Although many works are capable of functioning as vessels, they are created first and foremost as sculptural objects — intended to be lived with, contemplated and collected as artworks. Their value lies not in utility alone, but in the stories, symbolism and human presence embedded within their making.
