The concept
"Vessel" has the inherent capacity to convey multiple layered
narratives.
Three Melbourne
artists have chosen to explore this theme on a personal
level.
For
LYNNE BECHERVAISEthis has
meant developing her sculptured ceramic boats,
peopled with
figures, birds, fish and animals, informed by her journeys and
experiences with
indigenous
people, particularly the Inuit. These vessels are
representative of rites of passage

ILSE VAN GARDERENhas taken as her point of
departure a small piece of
cracked and irregular "Kitchen
Ming" creating a dialogue between herself
and this delicate, old Chinese
bowl. She often draws over failed drypoint
prints reground with pigment and
gesso, on occasion including text and nests

ANNIE GLASS has embraced the
"Vessel of Life" itself, siphoning off small "snapshots"
and
whimsically enmeshing them in yards
of wire.
