This was fun - I hope to start another design this week
"Cornell’s most characteristic art works were boxed assemblages created from found objects. These are simple shadow boxes, usually fronted with a glass pane, in which he arranged eclectic fragments of photographs or Victorian bric a brac, in a way that combines the formal austerity of Constructivism with the lively fantasy of Surrealism." #art #shadowbox #interactiveart #JosephCornell

By the way, speaking of #Bowie I thought I'd share my recent shadow box that I made of my favourite #DavidBowie album. Admitedly hard to see the depth element in 2D. Planning an over ambitious 3 layer one of a Mr B video scene with internal lights too (way too ambitious?) . #ShadowBox #Music #AlbumCovers #Low
