Contained Within
The Halide Project
June 1 - July 14, 2024A vessel represents potential. With what it is filled and how much it is filled are deliberate choices that we make, and how we consider a vessel and its contents can provide insight into our own emotional outlook. Vessels can contain our stories; our pasts, presents, and futures. And in artistic practice, the human body can be abstracted to represent a vessel through which we can safely explore our aspirations, our fears, and our desires. We navigate both the external and internal unknowns through the exploration of the body; what it holds onto and what it contains within.
The three artists in Contained Within explore conscious and subconscious realities in their work. They express potentiality through visual storytelling and use different types of vessels as vehicles with which to interrogate the unknown. Their choice of process informs their work, both mirroring and reinforcing the visual and emotional quality of the stories that they have chosen to share.
