I was invited to participate in an art show at Flow, a gallery in Marshall, North Carolina. Our curator, Connie Mollard shared that the treasures are seen as precious things that pique our curiosity and sense of wonder and excitement. The boxes that hold the treasures can also draw the viewer into the mystery of what treasure lie within.
I approaced this art challenge remembering my treasures and how I keep them. I have collected objects since I was a child sitting in my pops watchmakers shop. I had a drawer in the shop and I could keep anything in there from marbles to jewerly. We would call these my personal ornaments (treasures).
As i aged my collection of treasures included marbles, pears, plastic rings, letters, pictures and charms. I love opening up my pops Navy Shipmasters sewing box and touching the items I have placed in there. I have many different "boxes" filled with what I consider treasures.
