About
'Promissiones inanes (empty promises)', which depicts an old fashioned travelling trunk and an open 'glory box', is typical of Jenkinson's exquisite and meticulous collage technique. The work offers a commentary on romantic dreams of travel, marriage, and the exotic; it also speaks of the emotional, spiritual and intellectual baggage we carry with us during this life and into the next.
