Gramercy Park, Paris & A Time Long Ago

I did this piece for an Exhibition that required sound to be part of the art work.   I incorporated a music box and used images of times past.  The haunting tree,  from a photo found at my mother's house, is inside on the right side of the box.  The front is an image from a fabulous time spent in New York at Gramercy Park  and a  metal heart that turns to make the music box play.  Inside on the left (not seen) are recollections from my first trip to Paris. 

This  piece  incorporates  a  cigar  box, transfers , papers,  transparency,  drawing   and  wax.   A  mechanism for  a music  box  is  attached,  that  when  wound  up  plays  a beautiful   lyrical   tune.   The  image  below  shows   the  interior of the box that contains a 3-D triangle shape and
leaf made of paper.
