Joseph Cornell




























I love Cornell because his work is so imaginative and unexpected. I am especially fascinated with artists who use materials that we are familiar with from our everyday lives and I think this is what I like about this particular artist. He takes things that I know from normal life and turns them into art, which is a statement about what those things mean.
