Vessel shapes, such as the cornet or the bowl are a recurring feature in Radmacher's practice. They are reminiscent of tents, teepees, cocoons, igloos and the like, all of which are reminders of the temporary. These forms represent a transformative aspect that can also stagnate and become permanent. A tent, for instance, can be a temporary shelter, used for recreation, while it can also become a refugee's permanent fate. Temporary vessels can be filled and refilled, or forgotten and left to decay. Situations in life form and mark us, as we also form and mark situations. The temporary also becomes a part of the permanent, leaving small marks and reminders to create an illusion of the permanent.
