Boxes

She wants to build a series of boxes.

First, a group of three: they must all be identical, rigid and clean. They will sit on the floor in front of the performers and they will be painted soft pink.

Next, a single box. It should be shallower. It should also be rigid and clean. It will hold rubber gloves and cleaning cloths and should, therefore, be painted that particular yellow.

The last box is harder to imagine. She wants to attach it to a microphone stand. It will hold some equipment to modify her voice.

I need these boxes to complete my thesis, she says. I need these boxes to make sure it is finished.
