Vessels of Memory Exhibition Review
Sharing an interest in the exploration of memory, remembrance and the personal object or possession, ceramicist Rachel Dickson and glass artist Alison Lowry have exhibited together under the title ‘Vessels of Memory’ at CraftNI’s gallery in Belfast.
Objects and possessions play an often unacknowledged yet important role in the construction of an individual's identity and thus have a unique capacity for evoking memories.
Rachel Dickson's body of work examines concepts of memory and circumstance through the medium of porcelain, paperclay and paper. Alison Lowry uses garments and possessions to explore themes of memory, creating beautiful glass pieces tainted by melancholy and loss.
