Amazing Containers of Your Attention. There are many ways a container may be thought to hold one's attention, perhaps being particularly beautiful, or ugly. Maybe the container has a lot of content to be deconstructed, be that in graphic, text, or spatial form. However, Stasia Walters ceramic labyrinths hold one in a different way. They propose and allow a formal, physical journey over their surface. When one's attention is held by text, graphic, or spatial deconstructive analysis, it is a more psychic enterprise. Following a groove has a stronger physical component. Thus, these labyrinths are decorations for the physical being. They hold not only your psychic attention, but your physical one as well. Information, if you will, for your physical side. (Note: psychic Vs physical.) (I know there is also a potter who has put mazes on the sides of mugs, but can't Google it up at the moment.) 11:28:41 PM
