About the Item
"Vessel #12: Belly of the Beast"
Free-standing abstract sculpture from Jeff Key's 80+ piece 'Vessel Series'. Constructed from wood and flax, a natural plant material.
Born and raised in San Francisco, Jeff Key has focused his work as a sculptor, digital media artist, and writer over the past thirty plus years on theories of evolution, with allegorical and metaphorical references to the past, present, and future. Key, who received an M.F.A from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1972, also has a B.A. in Communications and Public Policy from the University of California at Berkeley. His work illustrates his concerns with anthropology, sociology, psychology and
political and physical sciences.
Although abstract in nature, Key's work makes allusion to the vessel -- a cross-cultural, and at times totemic form, which represents human presence and the cycle of life. The pieces are primarily constructed with wood and flax, a natural plant fiber. There are over eighty pieces in the 'Vessel Series' to date. Key plans to publish a book when he completes the 100th vessel.
