Carriage

156 blown glass amphora, mugwort, Spanish moss

2ft x 3ft x 3ft pile

Carriage is a collection of 156 menstrual hued blown glass amphora piled up on Spanish moss, a traditional bedding material, and mugwort, an herb that induces vivid dreaming. When I make amphora I’m thinking about disposability, cosmetics, multiples; that which is transitory, like uteruses, unfertilized eggs, breath. The amphora evoke bottles for medicine, perfume, poison, makeup, remedies, oils, potions. They are surgical, sutured, fallopian tubes, boxes, shells, dendroids, clots, masses.
