Cottage Cubism

Suzanne and Picasso view Cubism differently

I love to play with shapes and collections. If you look around the cottage you will see collections everywhere. These include crockery, balls & spheres, game boards and rolling pins, just for a start.

This box itself is a collection of boxes. It is old pine and it is really beat up. It has a lot of character. When I saw it at the old Bernat Mill a long time ago, I knew exactly how I wanted to use it at home. I would use it for a collection of “smalls”. Since each cube is only fives inches square internally, they are small “smalls”.

The items are fun things like little pocket games from the thirties, old pipes like my grandfather used to smoke, croquet balls, eyeglasses from back in the day when glasses were made from glass, etc. Well that’s what’s in the cubes today, God only knows what will be there in July.
