I am currently working on one of my living boxes (curio) that I am donating to the two rivers art gallery. They are having a Halloween event and I am struggling a bit with the design of the box. I have always tried to avoid the perception of my boxes being a Halloween/gothic prop but more of conversation piece that helps people discuss death in a healthy, proactive way. It also doesn't help that this is a high end event for people outside of my income bracket.
I spent several hours with the Communications director (she came out to the cabin) and she obviously gets the concept, however displaying something without being able to tell the Narrative is always challenging. The background for the box is a dead garden so I was thinking of building the curio around a small tree sapling and have the branches intertwined with the shelves (whether or not this is do-able or attractive is another matter)
