Description: | The thin walls and perforations allow light to pass through this vessel. Much of Lawson Oyekan's work refers to human form and feeling. The shape of the piece describes weight, whilst in contrast the light clay relays the difficulty in trying to describe a feeling through physical form. The piercings echo the idea of being unable to capture or contain a feeling.
