Spirit Bowl X | 16" x 16"

Patricia-DeLeon

16" x 16" | ready to hang | mixed media on Baltic birch with gold + silver leaf.  

 

The vessel is an object both utilitarian and ancient.  Made for human interaction and handling, the vessel is a representation of our spirit and our physical form.  

These Spirit Bowls are nesting within each other, each with their individual textures, markings + colors.  I like to think of them as a representation of each of us:  Filled with our individual essence, able to transmit nourishment to ourselves + others.  Looking at the stacked bowls in my studio reminds me of the natural order of community; As we hold + support each other our potential for both inspiration and practical functioning unfolds and grows.
