An installation comprised of various sculptural elements. In thinking about eco in mythology, reduced to only bones and voice, transformed in stones and the only part remaining was the eco, a mere trace. These works reference packing materials, the remains of the fragile objects they protected, the more I looked and collected packing material the more I started to see them as architectonic forms, specifically archeological digs and floor plan views. Fitting to this series of work no. 002_NY is inspired by the packaging of the ubiquitous Sonos sound system.

Contain the Container teeters on a feeble, hand-made wooden table. The table is made from scraps and not-fit wood that she salvages from a local, high-end woodworker. It resembles an ancient ruin, deteriorating with time and crumbling under its own weight. Contain the Container casts a large shadow and is an object on the precipice, ready to throw itself at one’s feet, lunge at the viewer or just crumple to the floor. The reference to container is the ubiquitous plastic baskets that berries are sold in. Tesauro magnifies the scale, flips it upside down, and leaves it to barely rest on a table that is woefully unstable.
