Yesterday's Perfume - Fabulous 3D Art - Assemblages & Boxes

Master box-maker and collage artist, Joseph Cornell, is my muse. Reflecting his inspiration, my “Yesterday’s Perfume” 3D art works explore expectations, wild hopes, and shattered dreams. The assemblages and boxes contain life shards – old, vintage, and discarded found objects, bits and pieces of intimate ephemera I’ve collected over the years, along with my photos, prints and writings. These offer the scent of an organic communal memory that prevails despite the eternal flux of life. The title “Yesterday’s Perfume” comes from an unconventional memoir of writer Paul Bowles who peered deeply into the hearts and souls of men and women exposed to extreme environments and issues that forced them to confront the very nature of their being.
