Mixed Media Clamshell Box Constructions: book board & cloth, found objects, paper
A clamshell box is a particular form, traditionally used in libraries to protect, preserve, and store manuscripts of the past. I first made them to protect the books that I had constructed. Eventually I began to think about the clamshell box as a metaphor. I built them to contain my inner thoughts, memories, feelings, and ideas. Unlike the traditional form, however, I opened a side to frame an interior view. Upon A Time There Was No Time Once is a series of two-sided clamshell boxes that stand and frame musings about time.
