Business, Cleverly Disguised as Pleasure

Silos is a series of containers on a scale to contain the body—inspired by an eclectic mix including an antique tub that wraps around the body, a mud dauber’s nest, a handle, the Klein Bottle, the rhyton, alpine lakeshore, the comma, & the retort. Crooked or warped edges of medieval Limoges reliquaries led to the glitched seams.
