THE SYMPOSIUM EXHIBITION
Lewis-Clark State College Center for Arts & History
Central to Ancient Greek culture was the Symposium, a social and intellectual gathering of shared wine, conversation, music, poetry, and art. Integral to the experience were the drinking vessels, each representative of a specific role to the pacing and rhythm of the evening.
This collection of turned and carved vessels maintains historical roots to traditional forms while reimagining elements in a contemporary context. All are created from locally salvaged wood, aged with a combination of fire and red wine, and finished with varnish oil.
