Artist's Statement
- eileen o'donnell
- These pieces are clay vessels in the shape of what could be considered funerary urns, seeds, or incensors. I am inspired by the rituals and traditions of ancient cultures. Amid all the wonder of our modern technology, I feel more like a human being when I see that our ancestors asked the same questions of life that people today still haven't answered. Death, revenge, isolation, fear, captivity - how we confront these elements gives shape and meaning to our lives. These sculptures are my attempt to make sense of the issues that I can, and to honor those that will remain mysteries. Photos by Ryan H. Martin www.ryanhmartin.com
