Object Details
- Artist
- Michelle Holzapfel, born Woonsocket, RI 1951
- Luce Center Label
- Michelle Holzapfel associates vessels with spirituality. She remembers attending Mass as a child and being impressed by the presentation of the chalice, seeing it as the focal point of both the church and service. Her carved vessels capture this power and elevate simple forms to a higher level of importance.
