For this issue, we asked how artists approach vessels and containers, both in terms of utilitarian object and metaphor, and examine how artists hold and carry their memories and dreams through material — be it wood, fruit, feathers, or glass. We’ve learned that these materials possess their own histories and desires that the artists respect, admire, and uplift through their work. As you spend time with each of them, we hope you feel a renewed sense of what it means to gather and collect.
