[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.

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.
