THE FLOAT ANNUAL SMALL VESSEL PRIZE 2019
vessel / a container, an object, a firkin, a tube, a boat, a seed /
firkin / a small cask formerly used for liquids, butter, or fish /
A vessel can be many things. With many names, descriptions and functions. It is primarily an object to carry, contain and transport. Simple forms, or more involved with lids, handles, feet or spouts, which we interact with and use as vessels in our everyday lives. Often without giving much thought to the object itself, even our own bodies are vessels made up of arteries, veins and capillaries. Vessels can be mass produced, single use, handmade, one of a kind or naturally occurring within nature.
Open call to makers /
Early career and established artists of all ages are encouraged to submit their own interpretation of a vessel. Be it functional or dysfunctional. In the many guises of a vessel, the artist of the work shall remain ambiguous, known only by a number until judging is complete- the artists name is then revealed.
Dimensions /
Each vessel to be no larger than 30cm Height x 30cm Width x 30cm Depth.
Media and materials /
We encourage the exploration and use of all media and materials. Ceramics, glass, wood, metal, gold and silver smithing, textiles, fibre art, papier-mâché, collage, recycled and found materials, natural or human made, are some suggestions - not limitations.
