ArtistA surreal 3-D diorama structured like a vintage wooden box with three separate compartments. The central compartment contains a realistic young African American ballet student, third grade student, painted in the style of Vermeer, sitting on in an old 1930’s living room, , she is wearing a tattered homemade dance dress of muslin and is looking at her ballet journal, The side compartments feature medieval art inspired objects and ballet photographs arranged with care.. These compartments also include -themed illustrations. The scene is shabby and poor, yet illuminated with soft, warm light to create depth and a sense of mystery. The overall design is inspired by the assemblage style of Joseph Cornell, with influences from surrealism and cubism, muted colors of cadmium red, sienna, yellow ochre, pale greyish turquoise, burnt umber, dark forest green, olive green, slate, and black. --ar125:89
