Participating artists:

Artists work and talk together, exchange ideas and critique each other’s work. These kinds of conversations can lead to exploring the same concept. 

For the exhibit VESSEL, the artists selected the theme of seeing the human body as an object, a container that can hold physical entities, but also more fleeting phenomena. 

Using this approach the artists’ investigate the wonders of the human body, while contending with its fragility. Experiences of illness, injury and healing, birth and aging, pleasure and suffering are explored through a range of media, including charcoal on paper, photography, printmaking and sculpture. 

The artists, each in their own medium, explored the human condition directly or through metaphor, through interpretation as a complex system and structure.
