Vessels in Two Dimensions

Now at Dandelion Botanical Company in Sequim/Dungeness through August.  

On display are large pastel drawings that were made in Maine and have never been shown.  In addition, there are new wooden boxes that incorporate pastel drawings encased in resin.

The series of large ceramic pots are reminiscent of Mike’s career long infatuation with the vessel form.  The pots leap off the background as if they are truly three dimensional.  The pots are receptacles for invented flowers.

The boxes are a continuation of Mike’s attraction with the container form and how many different ways it can be expressed. Many will consider them to be sculptures but most are utilitarian as well.
