Use of The Base in the Captive Series Sculptures by Mark Lindquist
 

The Base

Mark Lindquist began mounting vessels and other turned and carved forms on bases in the early 80s to further disassociate the created object from the historical treatment of the bowl and to assure the proper positioning of the sculpture towards the viewer.  Placing a bowl on a base, which is normally viewed as a sculptural element, contributed toward viewing the vessel in a new light.  Lindquist explains it this way: “As they say now in the computer industry; ‘think outside the box’; I said then, ‘think outside the bowl.’  It became a challenge to view the vessel form as a language and suddenly I found myself thinking of these new sculptures as self-portraits with a language all their own (owing, of course, to the masters of modern sculpture from whom I learned the virtues and advantages of the base).”
