[Homage to Joseph Cornell], 1992
Trasobares covered the cedar box with a wire lid that that opens like a gate to the nostalgic garden of Cornell's collage, "For Josephine," that is printed on the cover of the book, Joseph Cornell: Gifts of Desire by Dickran Tashjian. When the book is removed, the open gate reveals Cornell in his garden in Flushing, New York. In a direct reference to Cornell's assemblages, Trasobares selected an array of evocative objects for display in the box's small compartments." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The top of the box depicts a fragment of a music score by Vivaldi and the sides calligraphic text and diagrams on Michaelson's theory of light and distance; all paintings are landscapes that relate to the couple's activities near their house. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
