The Peephole Container continues my exploration into visuality, the oscillation between concealing and revealing. The containers subtly conceal what is kept inside, hinting its form and colour through the body of translucency, and only revealing when one peers into them. The act of looking is heightened. The containers allow the owner to keep something precious inside and to bring whatever it is, an object or an heirloom into focus, accentuating the very act of giving ones whole attention to what is meaningful. The Spherical and Moon Jar influenced forms are small enough to fit in ones hands, amplifying this sense of preciousness once more and exploring a more haptic world of vision. The concave lensing in the peephole creates an illusion of distance, making everything a miniature. This lensing creates an otherworldly dimension, a tiny precious space where something of emotional value can be kept. Perfectly suited for jewellery the containers elevate whatever is inside, to both conceal them safely in mystery and reveal them only to those who choose to peer in.
