The “Exquisite Doodle” Artist Project, Post 14
a night at the theater...
“To Be Or Not To Be A Flea,” for Tom Haney

For the cover image of Tom’s box I was inspired by his own artwork.  I knew I couldn’t give him a box without some kind of moving element.  Tom is a wizard of mechanics, making his sculptures move and tell stories.  His work has so many layers, starting with a poetic idea and ending with a moment of magic when we witness what happens.  I wanted his box to have doors so that there would be an initial element of surprise when he opens them to see what’s inside the little theater…

Doors closed.
Doors open.
The outside...
and looking inside.
The way the scroll starts...
and ends.
