Statement

A rosewood box with pecan lid houses a scroll with excerpts from Jane Kenyon’s poem Notes from the Other Side. The scroll, affixed to the inner box lid, is printed both sides from an incised plastic plate and rolls around a shell, then is tied with a ribbon for replacement back into the box.
