loving the idea of contain

mary jane dodd

'the deeper that sorrow carves into your being

the more joy you can contain.

is not the cup that holds your wine

the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?'

~ kahlil gibran

i have a particular fondness for containing things in resin -

messages - translated through ephemera, natural and vintage objects...

allowing delicacy of emotion and materials to be preserved...
