Louise Nevelson


I love the different shapes that Nevelson uses for her boxes: a hexagon, square and a rectangle. The arrangement of the boxes is unique as well. The objects she uses to to put inside her boxes are very abstract, not as concrete as Samara or Cornell; she utilizes shapes to make an image more than using pictures.

Lucas Samara


Compared to a Joseph Cornell box, Samara's boxes have an added element of functionality to them. This is seen by the drawers in the front and side of the box. Also I like how Samara also decorates the outside of the box.

Cornell Box

Joseph Cornell: Navigating the Imagination



I like the ethereal aspect that the image conveys through the materials used and the title of the work. I especially like the angelic figure on the left :)
