“Vessels” is a series of containers derived from electrocardiogram (ECG) waveforms. Watching the pieces print (see video link below) or viewing the finished pieces from the top allows you to see the various components of the ECG waveform. The “R” wave creates the most visible texture on the outside, the “S” wave creates the most visible texture on the inside. The “P”, “Q”, and “T” waves are present but smaller and less visible.

Each inner and outer “bump” represents one heartbeat. In this way, each piece represents a certain number of heartbeats and minutes of life. Each bowl represents 960 heartbeats (16 minutes of life), the tall cylindrical container represents 2400 heartbeats (40 minutes of life), and the tall vase represents 3200 heartbeats (53 minutes of life).

This project was inspired by a loved one who recently underwent cardiac surgery.
