Tri-Lobed Vessel and Contents (Perforated Vessel Series)

Tony Marsh

2002 · Glazed earthenware · Modern and Contemporary Art

The spare forms assembled in this work by ceramist Tony Marsh are laden with mystery. The soft, matte glaze seems to mask a mechanized material, such as perforated metal, while simultaneously suggesting sea sponges or sunbleached coral. The contents of the vessel cryptically remain unknown.
