Glass, found case, 3 found objects.
This piece was inspired by the cabinets of curiosities, or cabinets of wonder, that emerged in the sixteenth century. Objects of curiosity were collected by rulers and aristocrats, as well as merchants and earlier practitioners of science. These collections were essentially precursors to natural history museums.
I’ve made a collection of curious glass pieces, with a few interesting found objects tucked in.
The cabinet sitting open as in the photos measures 15 inches wide, 7 deep, 29 high.
