Love making assemblages of finished boxes – thinking about David Rabinowitch's Box Through Assemblage.
Personally, I am quite a sucker for the minimal abstract and architectural feel of our boxes. But all the more so when they are covered with the beautiful Yves Klein-blue linen from @ratchford_fj .
Definitely my favourite colour.
This assemblage is made with a series of boxes made for Dutch visual artist Joos van de Plas.

For artist vanessa german, making sculpture is a spiritual practice with the power to confront systemic social issues and conjure a sense of community.

Art can be a wonderful catalyst for emotions. I remember my little thriller box that I invented after I found the background image (more in the alt text). Given the current political situation, I immediately realise who my fictitious muffin-baking princess would fill into cans and send to Mars without return ticket. 
Here's a sort of reintroduction post showing some recent-ish work.
I chose these examples because I don't think they need CWs, whereas some of my other work would, but the first image does have alcohol in it (hence the blur)
1. Lararium (fandom): Oh My God, This Is Happening!
2. Playful Rituals (08)
3. Flare/Fog
4. Work in progress, a collaborative piece as part of Changeling Morris
Inspired by the South Central neighborhood of Los Angeles, where Lauren Halsey’s family has lived for generations, vibrant sculptures and site-specific installations vividly reflect the artist’s community.

From a vast accumulation of found and readymade consumer products, Portia Munson has created elaborate sculptures and installations for more than three decades that explore the thinly veiled messages and codes embedded in mass-produced objects.

1/2 Day23 #ArtAdventCalendar For me, #art starts in #nature, the greatest artist ever. With visual art, I can only use my #senses, observe, feel, recognise or create analogies and connections. It starts with an inspiring coincidence: 2 stones from a resting place with the dog. Leaves. The objects begin to speak. Stone structures and leaf patterns tell stories.
