The Weight of Objects
The Weight of Objects
Emma Dawson-Webb
Description
Objects tell a story if we listen to them.
This poetic meditation explores energy exchanges between the living and the inanimate, the real and the imagined. One anonymous woman’s complex mind is revealed through her evolving and intimate relationships to the objects in her home. A proactive armchair, an ever-hopeful rusty nail, and a drinking glass with a midlife crisis illuminate a hidden, colorful life and growth toward accepting change and healing.
Emma Dawson-Webb knows that our most powerful emotions and desires manifest themselves in the inner and outer worlds of objects we take for granted. Her debut collection seeks the important lessons to be learned from paying attention.
