VESSELS
A series of 18 cast-iron sculptures dot the community garden
that occupies Seattle Public Utilities property at Beacon Reservoir. Building
on the inspiration of the reservoir as a container, they evoke puffball
mushrooms holding spores, berries holding seeds, seedpods and ceramic water jugs.
Likewise, they hold stories from the community. I interviewed volunteers and
neighbors over several summer months capturing food stories and traditions on
audio, and embedding them into the permanent works.
