Cigarette Boxes
With hopes that Elisabeth will join the blog and see this entry, I'm posting this artist's work that I saw over the weekend that reminded me of her. It's another take on using the cigarette box in artwork. His name is Brett Angell and I saw his stuff at the South End Open Studios in the SoWa district of Boston. He was selling his boxes for $35 each (I think!). He probably had about 40 different ones. The cut outs had plexiglass under them and the boxes felt very solid and rigid, as if a clear coat may have been applied. To see a few more boxes, you can visit his website at www.brettangell.com

First of all, thank you so much for commenting Bill! This is exactly what I hoped this blog forum could be used for. :):) The thing that I really liked about using the cigarette box in the way this artist did, was that it's a small, intimate box for collage- the perfect size for little snippets, views, ideas, or thoughts to be expressed. In the body of work I am currently working on, I am thinking of how I can do exactly that in my own way.
