Honored Vessels

Look upon the Honored Vessels series as group portraits. Each body is unique, beautiful, transparent or opaque, open or closed, decorative or plain – yet, beyond the facade, each has the ability to be filled and what we put into our containers will be seen. We can't help it. Love, hurt, joy, resentment, anger, grace, all are visible. Each vessel becomes a lens, distorting and refracting everything around it.
