“Joy was not made to be a crumb.” - Mary Oliver

Oh Mary Oliver, you are so wise! This colorful explosion of a piece plays with the idea that we mustn’t settle for a version of joy that is small and safe and contained in glass. (Though I must say the little glass flower in the vase brings me quite a lot of joy!) We can, instead, occupy a world of joy that is always blooming in and around us, filled with sparkles and juicy berries and rich, fiery colors.

Box: 10 x10x2 cradled board

Materials: vintage doll head, glass vase with flower inside, faux berries, rubber ring, ceramic dish, assorted sequins, wire, and beads, painted papers
