Last week I focused on gathering images of water and fountains and during class I narrowed my form down to the basin of a fountain which I think of as a kind of vessel that is generally rounded and can hold something. I have been working with this form in studio and have started to explore both an actual fountain as well as the bottom part of a boat, a large vase and a sink. I've realized that my personal connections to fountains has caused me to make particular choices of materials in my representations of the actual fountain but I am still trying to understand the form for what it is physically in my representations of the other photos.
