A vessel is something which is constructed to contain something of importance. Using a subtractive process, we were tasked in building containers which were designed either to enclose and protect, or display our objects. The process required use of power tools like the band-saw and electric sander to complete. The status of the container depends very much on the object being contained. In the case of my object, a glass skull candle holder, I chose to display it because of its interesting form.
I chose the skull as my object because it was given to me by my girlfriend’s parents before she moved back to Sweden. Also, I though this project would be perfect for devising a container which could make interesting use of the light emitted by the skull when lit with a candle. To do this, I needed to make a concave, display style design. To make the box contrast in form from its contents, I made it intentionally very geometric.
