Dwyer Kilcollin — Twin Pots
Dwyer Kilcollin

Twin Pots

2015

Twin Pots presents two compact, identical vessel forms rendered in resin and stone, their twinned geometry raising quiet questions about originality, reproduction, and the intimate physical bonds we form with everyday objects. Kilcollin works at the intersection of the handmade and the digitally generated, and this 2015 work reflects that sustained inquiry: the forms feel simultaneously ancient and contemporary, as though they might belong to a domestic ritual that predates the screen era while also having been conjured through algorithmic logic. The material combination of resin and stone reinforces this tension, pairing an industrial, synthetic compound with something extracted from the earth, each carrying its own tactile and cultural weight. Dwyer Kilcollin has built a practice around examining how accelerating access to technology reshapes our physical and psychological relationship to objects, particularly those rooted in daily life. Her broader output spans carved and pigmented plaster, 3D-printed forms, and cast works generated through digital rendering, and she is represented by M+B Gallery in Los Angeles. Twin Pots fits squarely within this investigation, inviting the collector to consider how the act of possessing an object, especially one that exists as a pair, takes on new meaning when the boundary between the handcrafted and the reproduced grows increasingly porous. Signed by the artist and offered through the Watermill Center Benefit Auction, the work is both a refined sculptural object and a conceptually layered one, well-suited to collections with a serious interest in contemporary sculpture and material culture.
