Sculptural Vase
Description
This large sculptural vase by Asheville artist Robert Milnes is a striking study in form, symbolism, and visual rhythm. Its generous volume is wrapped in deep blue circular motifs—bold, graphic elements that pulse with the artist’s ongoing exploration of communication, cognition, and the ways we interpret the world around us. The circles read almost like coded signals or energetic fields, echoing Milnes’ longtime engagement with symbolic systems such as Morse code, hexagrams, and wave patterns.
Expertly crafted with Milnes’ signature balance of modernist clarity and postmodern inquiry, the vase pairs a clean, architectural silhouette with a surface alive with meaning. The result is a sculptural object that feels both contemplative and dynamic: a vessel that invites viewers to consider how symbols shape understanding and how form can become language.
A distinguished artist, educator, and former arts dean, Milnes brings decades of exploration in ceramics, philosophy, and visual theory to this piece—making it not just a work of craft, but a meditation on perception itself.
