description |

there are variations of this entry throughout many of mallory's journals. she's found that in times of loneliness, it helps immensely to reflect on all of the love she possesses - via family and friendships - and that in just a few moments of this practice, she is bursting with feelings of love. 

color-wise, this piece consists of shades of a cool purple. in places where it looks black because of the photograph, it is actually a deep purple. it is finished with a high-gloss varnish, so it looks sleek & shiny. 

each piece in the contentment collection is stamped with an item pulled from gratitude lists in the artist's journals, which she's been writing consistently for ten years now. they are meant to be mix & matched so you can choose the colors and phrases that speak to you. mallory hopes when you look at them, they serve as a reminder to practice gratitude.
