Description:
The Joseph Cornell Box: Found Objects, Magical Worlds
Working with found objects, pages from old books, and dime-store trinkets, self-taught artist Joseph Cornell (1903–1972) transformed everyday materials into extraordinary universes. The Joseph Cornell Box: Found Objects, Magical Worlds by Joan Sommers and Ascha Drake presents his life and art in a beautifully collaged, 80-page book housed in a sturdy box. The book's design, inspired by Cornell's boxes, collages, and letters, tells his story in both words and images. A project section aims to inspire the reader to create their own box assemblages. Included are fun materials to get the creative process started—five sheets for collaging, a ready-to-assemble miniature box, a magnifying lens, colored plastic, and printed game pieces—all housed in a sturdy hinged box with a removable grid. Published by Cider Mill Press in 2007.
