The HCC art students’ work will be featured in the Kachina and Vessel Show, which runs through November 25 in the HCC Library. The exhibit brings together two historical objects: the Kachina and the Vessel. Similarities and differences bind and define these objects. Each has specific cultural influences. The Kachina originates from the Hopi and Pueblo Indian culture, “can represent anything from a revered ancestor, to an element, a location, a quality, a natural phenomenon, or a concept.”
In its structure the vessel references the figure. The anatomy of a vessel contains feet, belly, shoulders, necks and lips. Historically, vessels have served in ceremonies and rituals in cultures all over the world. Today, the vessel is an art object that draws upon functional and sculptural ideas. In their assignment students have been asked to develop their awareness of structure, form and how complex forms are developed by combining parts. Students developed their interpretation of Kachinas, using the object itself as a starting point and allowing that influence to enter their work literally, and in others more abstractly. As they thought about vessels, students were asked to consider form, utility and design. By constructing their own Kachinas, students carried its anatomy into the vessels, informing the decision making process.
