Make cornell box

This mixed media piece was inspired by Joseph Cornell and Sylvia Ji. It's a self portrait painted on wood with a gradated acrylic wash. The box is painted with a red acrylic wash. The bottom acts as a planter. I cut various sized holes in the box to allow create organic shadows on the piece. It is meant to be viewed outdoors. Real ivy is planted in the piece, then weaved in and out of the holes.
