Echo’s Vessels
2024 | Stoneware, earthenware.
This project is a part of Echo-Morphed Mythologies in the character of Marion Nelé.
‘Echo’s Vessels’ imagines Echo who, in a desperate attempt to attract the man she loves, creates bait to hold the only thing he has ever loved: his own reflection in the water. The concept of a vessel connects to both the womb and the process of becoming, as well as to urns and the passage of time. Nelé uses clay as an entry point for anthropological exploration, drawing from her fascination with artifacts as vessels of heritage and carriers of tacit knowledge.
