“My current practice explores the role and function of the vessel within ritual theory and practice of Catholicism. The chalice contains and protects wine which during the mass is said to have been transubstantiated to the literal blood of Christ. The series explored the ritual vessel as an object of transformation, both literal and psychological. The work conveyed feelings of silence, reflection and reverence yet was subverted by vessels which appeared to be uncertain in their posture.” Shane Porter
Shane Porter graduated from the University of Ulster in 2010 with a 1st Class Honours degree in Fine and Applied Art.
