Camilla Bliss: Ode to Mud

The guardian vessel becomes a talismanic object protective of those who cross it. There is a meditative act to the undulating coils formed to create each vessel which feeds us. With a focus on the haptic internal touch as a central core to understanding the world around us, the primordial urn nourishes, and cares for the deepest thoughts within each being.
