Souvenirs is a series of six illuminated mixed media collages based on a trip
I took to Europe. They are constructed from wooden cigar boxes that are painted
with French clay and lined with silver leaf. Using remnants from my trip I made
little collages from postage stamps, bits of maps and photos and rubber stamps,
which I then sandwiched between panes of glass and soldered together into 3-D
constructions. I wired the boxes with bulbs, switches and batteries and slide
the glass assemblages in front and voila!
Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium are available for $400 each
