vessels of memory III (2026)Mixed-media sculpture by Gela MIKAVA
14 x 45 x 14cm
£1,091.84
Original artwork description
This sculptural object emerged directly from the artist’s painting practice and is composed entirely of studio remnants — used jars, glasses, and accumulated layers of paint that once served as essential tools in the act of painting.
The materials have not been altered, decorated, or disguised. Their surfaces remain exactly as they were left by use, carrying visible traces of time, repetition, and labor, in some cases accumulated over many years.
Through vertical stacking and careful arrangement, the object shifts from utility into presence. It exists somewhere between vessel, sculpture, and quiet monument — preserving the memory of process rather than its outcome.
The work raises a persistent ethical question: how we treat the things — and by extension the people, bodies, and supports — that once helped us become who we are, once their function is exhausted.
Here, form is only an arrangement. Meaning resides in the material itself.
Materials used:
Glass, acrylic glaze
Details:
- Mixed-media sculpture on Other
- One of a kind artwork
- Size: 14 x 45 x 14cm
- Signed certificate of authenticity
- Style: Abstract
- Subject: Architecture and cityscapes
