Everything I Was Saving for Later is a one-of-a-kind porcelain Art Carton that reflects on postponed dreams, treasured memories, and the things we convince ourselves there will always be time for. Through layers of vintage imagery, acrylic, collage, and resin, the familiar carton becomes a sculptural mixed media artwork that encourages viewers to consider what we preserve—and what we eventually choose to open.
Hand-cast in porcelain and finished in Asheville, North Carolina, this work is part of Alissa Van Atta's ongoing Art Carton series, where everyday packaging becomes a vessel for memory, emotion, and storytelling. Vibrant reds, layered imagery, and shifting perspectives reveal new connections as the piece is explored from every side.
Each Art Carton is individually collaged, hand-finished, and sealed in resin, making every piece completely unique.
