This sculptural container series from Oregon-based artist Thomas Jean Nevar explores the tension between raw material and refined form. Crafted from cold-rolled steel, stone, and volcanic substrate, each piece holds space for living growth while grounding itself in permanence and weight. With a background in fabrication, brand identity, and fine art, Nevar blends structure and subtlety into intentional, material-driven work. His practice—shaped by decades of building visual identities for mission-led organizations, now centers on sculpture, painting, and design that seeks meaning beyond aesthetics.Each vessel in this collection speaks in its own voice, yet together they explore a shared language: restraint and flourish, built and wild, memory and form.
