Suspended Vessels

Gera Scott Chandler has lately been working on a concept she calls suspended vessels. They appear more as sculptural pieces than functional decor although they are both.

The central aspect of these pieces is a woven basket suspended between a series of tall thin sculptures that appear, in either an abstract or literal manner, to be figurative totems all facing inward. The impression is that there is a gathering of people with a yet to be filled basket connecting them, giving the open vessel a mysterious importance, as if these people have gathered to either give or receive something very precious.

The photos show rather subdued colors but they are actually quite colorful. Take a closer look here on her blog.
