Vessels

I am interested in the specific nature of Classical Greek pottery forms. Each of the shapes I have chosen to work with are either specifically gendered female ( Loutrophoros and Alabastron) or connected to bathing and cleansing rituals (Amphora and Lekythos). To me the vessels are stand-ins for the female form.
