love letters to friends

containers

my love, it does not fit into the containers these constructs and systems demand. my love, it swells and spills, often making a mess of things. i take this mess and start to play. push a little here, pull a little there, until an image begins to appear - like the portraits conceived of by Vik Muniz in his Wasteland projects made of rubbish from the world's largest landfill. i do not mean to say my love is trash, rather that it has been used & discarded from time to time. rat
