Yet even more Box Art by Jackie Winsor

Jackie Winsor is an artist who made a variety of boxes in the late 60s and early 70s. (Maybe even now - I admittedly haven't kept up) This was a time when other artists were also working with ideas of the GRID and BOX spaces (Sol LeWitt and more).

I like her work because of the variety of form and ideas expressed, although she worked almost exclusively with the box form. In addition to Fence Piece, above, and Four Corners, below, in which she took a wooden frame and wrapped each corner with hemp cord until the form became exaggerated, Jackie also did pieces where she built boxes and ignited explosives inside of them, displaying the burnt out remains in the gallery, and boxes that were unfolded to resemble a cross shape.
