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.
