Larry and Molly’s 2020 Box

The annual Box Show is the major fundraiser for Gallery Route One in Pt. Reyes Station in west Marin county. 

 

The way it works is: Each artist is given an unadorned pine box (dimensions vary each year). You can pretty much do anything to it as long as elements of the original the box remains in the piece.

 

This year, of course, the show is largely virtual but the show goes on.

 

Here’s what we did.

It’s titled “After Covid”  (Inspired by Pieter Bruegel’s “The Wedding Dance”)

We transferred the drawing to balsa wood and cut it out.

Here’s the reverse side

We created another layer: Trees as background to the dancers.

Then we glued all the components together on to the painted box (we used the ‘back’ side the box).
