WHITE OUT

'Sumerians believed that the universe consisted of a flat disk enclosed by a tin dome.'


"Even ancient Sumerians had a thing for snow globes. I can't explain what it is that makes them so delightful to me. It may just be that they're miniature, but I love them beyond all reason. "A new snow globe enchants me for weeks; I've had friends return from trips, haggard and world weary, clutching the globe they've brought me with an air of fierce defiance. Yes, I did find the one snow globe that exists in South Africa. Each globe in my collection has been a gift given to me by myself or someone I know. I will not purchase them on ebay or trade with other collectors. This preserves what I consider the purity of my collection. "They are perishable little objects of kitsch and beauty, perfect for shaking around and looking pretty, charming because they are simple yet strange. Enjoy."
