Black Vase with Black Chain

SJ Bellamy Sarah Jane Bellamy works in memory vessels — an early American folk art form that started with old farm jugs, covered in broken pottery, buttons, and other found bits, plastered on to tell the story of a place and the people in it. Bellamy carries the technique forward into mirrors, vases, frames, clocks, and other functional objects, each one built from a different set of salvaged materials and assembled into a distinct, one-time-only piece. No two are alike, and none can be remade — what you're buying is the specific collage of objects and story Bellamy assembled once, for that piece only.
