For my grad thesis show, I produced a collection of square-shaped porcelain vases. The vessels would have the same width on all four sides but will vary with seven different heights. The lowest vase would be about one inch tall, while the tallest would be four inches tall. The five units between the shortest and tallest designs would have a 1/2-inch difference between each vessel. The vessels will arrange into grid structures consisting of 64 units per set. The reason I’m designing square containers with different heights to make a variety of block-based motion surfaces. Examples include a hill form, a crater form, and a valley form, all of which can form a set of 64 vessels.
