Preserved

Preserved

Held. Captured. Kept. These are legends of the life left within. Conserved. Contained. Stocked and shelved. Hidden away in tiny tin-plated tombs. Encased in ice crystals or jelly jar prisms. Sun-ripened, sea-salted histories wait to be unveiled. Sharing secrets from another time and place.

Yesterdays are not forgotten. They're wrapped in cylinders.

Pressure-packed time travelers. Living life in cans. It's uncanny.

Open

Enjoy

A toast:

to the lives and meals we share.

CHEERS

STASH

A lovely

food vase.

Proudly putting her contents on display. Clearly. Curved. Cool to the touch. Always protecting. Collecting and keeping. Still, she makes time for shadows. Twisting light and making the most beautiful use of it.

Skeleton

Structures

Red-hot scorch-seared kisses.

Pucker up.

Mwah.

Treat

TRICK

Dried

Juice emptied leaving pulp and rind. A segmented slice.

Pressed Patterned

Still gold. Now a garnish. Drawing both attention and moisture back in. Thirsty.

BUT STILL LIFE IS LEFT.

ON ICE

Hydrogen and oxygen blocked in a solid state. Held to form with eight arms and nine brains.

A curious feast for the eyes.

Preserved at its peak.

Fresh, fragile, frosted.

Plump with season-sweet sugar.

Capably and skillfully hue-holding. Each an abundance of one.
