Being a vessel is series of ceramics, paintings and moving image that I created from a place of being deeply inspired and intrigued by other artists, writers, places or events. I made these works as a way to translate inspiration into my own visual language creating memories and reminders of art works that have uplifted and inspired me, but also to explore what it means to be inspired and influenced by others.
The central piece is the video Anna, an hommage to artist Anna Oppermann combining dance, performance, painting and collage. It is surrounded by a series of earthenware vases and pastel paintings each dedicated to another person or place.
