After my tutorial with Leila, she looked at the piece I had made for sculpture and suggested that I look at work by the American artist and sculptor; Joseph Cornell.

I found his work to be really interesting. The way he assembles his collages and the choice of his images infusing beautiful imagery with the mundane and creates a juxtaposition between them . A lot of Cornell's shadow boxes have a distressed and weather worn quality to it and this appeals to me as i have applied this type of technique to my sculpture work and to work in other projects as well.
