Médium

Leather

Two leather vessels hang on a single continuous strap, as if on the shoulder of an invisible bearer.
Made of layered vegetable-tanned leather scraps and formed using techniques inspired by ceramics and woodworking, their surfaces shift between flexibility and solidity, matte and gloss.
They are inextricably yet impermanently bound, suspended in a tenuous balance.
Evoking an artifact from a forgotten place, these pendulous urn-like figures are both familiar and surreal. Each element is recognizable, yet together their purpose becomes dissonant, suggesting remnants of an altered world.
