When I first laid eyes on the circus clown trunk, I stopped in my tracks. The painted face staring upside down across the front felt like more than decoration. It felt like a fragment of a lost world — a carnival gone by. Trunks aren’t just places to keep things. They’re keepers of journeys. Before cheap mass storage appeared, trunks were the way people travelled. Built solid, heavy duty, sometimes decorated with brass corners or painted lettering.

I remember when the art station circus came to town once a year. Posters glued to walls promised elephants, buy storage trunk fire breathers, cheap vintage trunk acrobats — and always clowns. Looking at the trunk feels like it was there backstage, stuffed with costumes and props, waiting for the show to begin.
