Boxes
I looked at Jospeh Cornell during my collections project, as i was interested in the way he used boxes to hold objects and create compositions. I remembered him as an artist i wanted to use in the future and found his work to be very helpful in developing my final piece plan. I know that i want to use this idea of confinement and so it makes sense to draw from my dolls house research and combine it with the way Cornell puts together compositions within a box.

I liked how it seems you would have to peer into Cornells box on the right. I took this aspect and thought about it whilst creating my basic house. I created each individual piece that went into the house using wood, plasics and found materials. I attempted to create as much detail with the furnishings as possible in the time i had as i wanted the viewer to have to look inside to gain a better perspective of the piece. I want the piece to appear 'normal' at first, however when payed more attention is actually quite unusual- hopefully making the viewer intrigued and wonder what is being presented.
