Making “Memory Vessels’ was an early American Folk Art form. The first memory vessels were old jugs covered with simple objects found around the farm, such as bits of broken pottery, buttons, or anything small. Each jug told a story of the farm and the people living there.
Sarah uses this form of collage in a variety of contemporary ways creating mirrors, vases, frames, and other one-of-a-kind objects.
