Jeff Robb’s Vessels series explores the poetic tension between object and space, presenting everyday vessels—simple, singular forms—captured in a state of suspended contemplation. Using lenticular photography, Robb transforms these seemingly ordinary objects into striking three-dimensional presences, inviting the viewer to engage with their quiet, yet profound, stillness.
By placing each vessel within an enclosed environment, Robb intensifies the relationship between object and space, drawing attention to the way containment alters perception. The confined setting amplifies the significance of the solitary form, encouraging a deeper consideration of its materiality, volume, and the negative space around it. This focus on a singular object—devoid of distraction—creates an experience of meditative engagement, reminiscent of the reductive purity found in minimalist sculpture.
