.
. Motivated by Ursula Le Guin’s essay “The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction”, my work entertains the idea that the Carrier Bag was the first utensil that contributed to society’s survival. As weaving yarns and various reed fibers was predominantly women’s work. Women can be seen as the true hero of humankind by working, weaving, and protecting their community.
.
. The vessels are intentionally constructed using copper to emphasise the notion that these utensils were and are powerful, and should be preserved for generations to come. Each vessel is formed from a woven square and the uneven folds created in the form allow light to through imitating the ephemeral sensation of fabric.
