The show Common Box Project<\/a> opens at Abecedarian Gallery <\/a>this Thursday, July 9 and runs through July 18. 60+ artists, including myself, are in the show and we\u2019ve all done BOXES, Joseph Cornell style<\/a>\u2026 in collaboration with John Common<\/a> & the Blinding Flashes of Light, a Denver based musical group. John Common\u2019s comments on boxes are intriguing:<\/p>\n

Music has a lot of boxes\u2026 or maybe it\u2019s like boxes inside of boxes. A box of related notes is a melody. A box of words are lyrics. A box of sounds and words is a song. A box of related songs is a record. A box of musician\/artists is a band.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I identified with John Commons lyrics on his new CD,\u00a0Beautiful Empty<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0Some of his songs deal with SCARRING\u00a0and HEARTS. I\u2019m primarily a printmaker and\u00a0my Arborglyph<\/em> monoprints are derived from photographs of aspen tree bark SCARRING<\/a>, both natural and man-made. I used two monoprints of tree graffiti\u00a0hearts on my BOX, plus a wooden heart and spoon, and several pods that\u00a0resembled atrophied hearts.\u00a0John\u2019s lyrics emblished the natural wood as well.<\/p>\n
