Whole Bowls

I began making this design in 2006.

The Whole Bowl explores the limits of functional and non-functional objects. While the bowls are aesthetically pleasing, they are functionally restrictive. The Whole Bowl’s design overrides practicality.

The Whole Bowls are blown glass forms that are then cut and cold worked. Each one is unique allowing the form to dictate the number and placement of the holes.  The interior bright colour draws you into the form. The contrast of the inside and outside space, as well as the contrast in function and design, creates an interesting and unique object.
