Sealed Containers 2 Painting

'Sealed containers' comes from a chum of mine who told a story of a person who ended up hoarding all their poo in tupperware. I tried to make the containers seem organic and cellular to show a brain/psyche trapped in its own little boxes of processed safety and fear. I hope whoever it is gets out of them, but currently it seems unlikely. Ditto the storyteller, who is trapped in their own little boxes - presenting happiness and a rather superficial jollity hiding their own 'stuff' away in the hope that it'll stay that way. Poor thing - they have insight but don't seem to have the courage right now to do anything about it. The stuff 'leaks out' in other ways - psychosomatic/-genic symptoms such as troubled sleep, palpitations, worsening eczema, as well as obsessive behaviour and control. The painting bit of this 27 x 17.5 inches (68.5 x 44.5cm) using cardboard, varnish, PVA glue, poster paint. The result is stabilised on plywood, and is housed in a white wood painted box frame. It is pretty textural having raised edges through the cardboard. Shipping dimensions include the frame as it is inseparable from the painting, and is a good protection (and volumetrically cheaper). However I would prefer it if the person it was 'inspired' by (dreadfully over-used word) would accept it - as it was originally intended for you, but then you avoided talking to me about 'stuff' - and then to me entirely. Don't blame you in a way (I can be very irritating about such things), but your stuff won't go away - just fester away however 'sealed'. I hope you have got help elsewhere or you will indeed die alone (you said it) - even if you are in a relationship - as you can't love anyone else unless you know and love yourself, etc...blah, blah, blah
