3 X 4 X 2 1/2" OVERALL
The Women Beyond Borders Art Collection includes over 900 self styled wooden boxes reflecting on a specific woman's self-identity using a variety of multi-media processes. The artist has painted her box white and detailed the exterior with hash marks representing the number five; the interior houses a series of colored hair-like forms. As the title suggests, this box has been turned into a stack of sticks which have been bundled.
