Ancient Desires – One Taste
2024
A set of 1000 ceramic offering vessels made in Nepal
Dimensions variable
Commissioned by Licchavi House, Kathmandu, Nepal
Together with the local Nepalese artistic and spiritual community of both trained and untrained potters, we created more than 1200 ceramic offering vessels made from local clay. Some perishable offerings are hand-inscribed with mantras and are offered inside the vessels. These offerings and vessels are created with the intention to benefit the collective wellbeing of all sentient beings.
This ephemeral project was a part of the exhibition “Annica, Change, Life World” curated by Emily Avery Crow at Licchavi House in Kathmandu, Nepal. Licchavi House was founded by the world renown Bhutanese Buddhist teacher and filmmaker Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche.
