Cornell Box

In our Fundamentals of design and color class, we've been working on Joseph Cornell boxes of our very own. Joseph Cornell took regular objects and turned regular boxes into exhibits of strange but beautiful items.



This is an example of a Joseph Cornell Box. I really hope it is one of his originals because the search i did was very vast but this is my favorite. It stuck out because it has colors, but when you pay close attention, there are flower petals, shells, a piece of fabric and what looks like a shiny ribbon. Its very girly, which kind of makes me think its not a Joseph Cornell orginal...but it still is my favorite from the search.
