Sewing on Saturday Morning Vessel explores fragility as an act of care and remembrance. Inspired by learning to sew alongside her mother and grandmother, the vessel’s pleated, dart-like folds translate the gestures of muslin fabric shaping into sculptural form. These movements—once used to create and mend—become abstractions that honor touch, skill, and family inheritance. Constructed from spackling paste and plaster, it transforms materials of labor and repair into a tender record of resilience. Fragility becomes strength through holding, preserving, and honoring, connecting the intimacy of domestic craft to contemporary objects.
