Twentieth Series: First Homage to Joseph Cornell.
I particularly adore Cornell. Of all his series some of the simplest and amazing are his galaxy or constellation works. The edition will be 10. They consist of a stark adobe window through which a dark dark night sky is viewed sprinkled with stars individually and in clusters. So I decided to make my own galaxies as my first homage to Cornell. The work consists of a round plastic box 1 inch tall by 1 1/4 inches in diameter with a slide-on lid. Inside I have brushed the walls of the box with gesso to approximate the adobe. Beyond that I have painted the indigo sky speckled with stars. A ceramic face was placed in the lower right corner and a drift of sand and one bead in the bottom. On the outside sealing the box is the information label with the title, edition number, and blog address. On the verso is a magnet as these works will be placed on metal. Did you see one? Tell me.
