Created using the Carved Chem-sand Technique.
This is one piece in the Anti-functional Vessel series. This series began, naively, as an undergrad and was designed to raise questions about the division between art and craft. Fairly early on, however,I became enamored with the formal aspects of the anti-functional mechanisms and thier relationship to the vesels. There are dozens of pieces in the series (a few, obnoxiously, are "in use") and I continue to make them.
