Vessel
Necklace: responsibly sourced sterling silver, recycled sterling silver, responsibly sourced fine silver, patinated and stabilised copper, charred cork, ethically sourced Chilean carnelian beads, cultured freshwater pearls.
Myriad interpretations are open to the symbolism of vessels and the equally enormous array of things which may be stored therein. This necklace engages with the idea that people are vessels in their own right—as they store the physical and abstract contents of their being within the body. Human beings frequently pour the immaterial contents of themselves into objects, assigning extraordinary meaning and value to things which are kept safely about the body (such as jewellery or family heirlooms). This investment of meaning transforms ordinary objects into vessels as well, for they retain and embody that which was poured into them. The exact contents of that investment of meaning is unique and incommunicable, it is a perpetually transferred and remediated quality sealed within and between a person and an object.
Approximate necklace length: 58cm
*Please note: the copper vessel of this necklace is sealed, and contains a raw quartz crystal wrapped with a piece of paper with Hebrew writing and bound in cotton thread.
