When looking at the design of tulip vases Sanam Emami, Deborah Schwartzkopf and Arthur Halvorsen pieces gave me a decent idea of how to go about forming the vase. It opened for questions of whether or not to have tubes to hold the flowers or simply holes for them to rest in. Overall, I am really drawn to Martha Grover's work, particularly the flowing organic and feminine qualities. After considering the parameters of the assignment I began developing two very different ideas one surrounding body image issues and the other pollution. The body image issues would be reflected in making either a realistic female torso or an abstracted one incorporating qualities seen in Grover's pieces. The other idea I had was inspired by Lynn Duryea vases, they remind me of factory exhaust pipes and air pollution. I thought it could be interesting to create a set of stacking vessels that emulate exhaust piping from an oil refinery or factory.
