The Box Show 2023

Yes, we’re back with the Box Show.

The annual show is a fundraiser for Gallery Route One in Pt. Reyes Station, Marin county.

The deal is simple: The gallery provides plain pine boxes to as many as 150 artists. You can pretty much do anything to it as long as elements of the original the box remains in the piece (In the past, people have taken them apart, burned them, shredded them and so on).

This year Molly and I wound up with an unassembled box to start with.

I started with sketches:

I originally had a notion that I would draw various fantasy-animal-headed creatures, but it mutated into extraterrestrial types instead.

Molly started painting the backgrounds without my drawings. 

They began to take on the appearance of some sort of apocalyptic alter pieces.

My drawing were attached and ultimately painted and sealed in gel medium.

We linked the pieces together with metal brackets.

               The show began on August 5th and continues until September 9th

                Final bidding and auction closing is Saturday, September 9, 3-4pm

                        You can see the entire show online at: The Box Show
