Family Tree 1

By Elaine Allison 2013

Dimensions
30 x 30 x 30

This work is contained in a perspex box. The bottom of the box is filled with a laser cut image of tree branches, which has been laser engraved with part of a family tree. Suspended above this are labels screen printed with old family photos, with information (names, places, dates) screen printed on the reverse. The labels are hung on threads which are looped though old buttons (mostly mother-of-pearl) sitting on the top of the box.
