jars

keeping

holding

waiting

when i was working on these i was thinking about representing potential-- jars are identified by what they hold and keep inside. and space. but they are also beautiful forms. and i like the way they relate to each other. so close but keeping their contents separate--like people.

p.s. these will be in a little show in a lovely little store in pasadena: Zinnia. the theme of the show is Kitchen.

p.p.s. the artist buddy/influence for these pieces is georgio morandi. he painted mostly monochromatic still lives of mundane objects, mostly containers. sometimes the same ones over and over in slightly different arrangements. focusing on form.
