Vessel
Oh honey! You are a hot mess. Extruding unstable heat like bullets from a gun, spewing out guts. Dripping conspicuous disarray right on the edge, clinging to uncertain sanity... Yet there is a glint in your eyes, a coolness adhering to your skin, living like vulnerable confidence. Hold on to the smallest parts that make you whole. Allure is fragile.
Unique vessels handmade using a thermoplastic extrusion process.

Tanner Bowman is dedicated to making the kitsch contemporary by working with craft techniques and materials common to the American household. Bowman designs with a sensitive, playful irreverence, generating objects that experiment with psychological and tactile perceptions of comfort.
In Spring 2014, Bowman worked with Andrea Zittel on an knitted body pillow that made a physical comfort zone inside the iconic wagon stations on her A-Z West property in Joshua Tree, California. Bowman currently lives and works in Chicago, IL, where he received his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
