These Vessels came from my desire to create a cover for a mason jars that protects the jars from breaking or clanging together while sailing on my boat.

As I discovered the different geometries in the patterns of the weavings, I became interested in the intention of use of the vessels based on the meanings in Sacred Geometry

Together with the rich history of knot tying in sailing and the mysticism inherent in sailing lore through the practice of sailing the globe and navigating by the stars, these vessels will carry you on your travels.

Mason Jars are practical, recyclable, and re-useable and can provide an alternative to paper, plastic and styrofoam cups.

Mason Jars and the Masonic traditions from which their name is shared, honor the wisdom of Sacred Geometry as the building block for meaning in architecture and design

tortolla theory

In mapmaking cartographers struggle to project onto a flat surface the spherical contours of the globe. Similarly, I try to convey the meditative thoughts I have while constructing vessels.  It is a distillation or simplification of a form that is beyond comprehension except by distorting time or space.

Like pressing a tortilla in a comal, the round ball of dough expands.

And the process  of expansion is captured as a distortion which reveals the whole object in a form compressed in time.
Or,  it is rolled out in a carpetlike display, revealing the pattern held within the spiraled rug
