Mixed media
2 3/8 x 3 5/8 x 2 1/4" 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. Exterior sides of the box highlight colors representing different aspects of nature: sunlight, wind, water, wood and earth. The lid includes a dark, stormy scene with a conch shell and an eyeball appearing in the clouds staring at the viewer. Inside the box is a scroll of painted paper with repeated imagery of the sun and a hand setting/rising from the horizon line between the blue ocean and purple clouds. Across the scroll are words to be read from left to right on the top and bottom of the scroll.
