Object 3, Cup - 235

Object 3, Cup - 235A vessel imagined from mythshaped as if chipped from the rocky cliffs of Naxos, where the sea meets vine covered hills. Dreamt as the jar from which Ariadne and Dionysus would share the first pour of new wine, it carries the quiet weight of ritual and intimacy. A practical object with the presence of something much olderperfect for organizing writing utensils or displaying a bloom from the garden.

This urn draws from the Praenestine tradition of cistae: vessels of reverence and ritual

she becomes the guardian of his island sanctuary

this bowl honors the island of Ceos and the cypress tree

Ideally sized to lift your favorite candle above any surface

Originating from a column of stone

it’s perfect for concealing treasured keepsakes

Its lidded form beckons curiosity

these fragments—once discarded—seem to call for a second life

Rooted in history

this piece is designed to accompany the larger Box Square 12

The work is an exploration of the visual fluidity observed in two-dimensional Gothic stained glass within a three-dimensional hand-blown glass object

As if carved from the very rock of wave-battered shores
