Joseph Cornell



Some of my earlier postcards put me in mind of Joseph Cornell someone whom I have researched in the past and is relevant again now . His work is about collecting and collaging , overlays, cutouts , hand drawn designs , inscriptions , origami , objects images from a variety of sources mainly the second hand shops of New York in the 1920s through to the 1960s . Poingnant compositions creating a touchstone for exploring the unknown . p233"Navigating the Imagination" book by Lynda Roscoe Hartington with a kalaidascope of images of his work .
