Contain the Container

<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 wood worker. 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 own feet, lunge at the viewer or just crumble 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>
