She got bigger with her career in the 1960's. Both of her parents were invested in the arts which of course was bound to influence her. After the death of her mother, she got really invested.

Joseph Cornell Joseph Cornell was an American artist and also a film maker. He worked with assemblage. He mainly worked using boxes for assemblage pieces and I realized he seems to go for a vintage look and also uses birds a lot. I really like the birds and in a few of his pieces he uses maps as a background. I really like his work and it reminds me of my family's house in main because there a lot of old things in the house and it just gives a calm feeling. When it comes to principles and elements of art, I definitely see texture, color, form, variety, and space. Again, I really enjoy the colors he mainly uses which seem to be gold, a dark blue, white, and brown. There are a variety of things he uses in these sculptures like the key, birds are a repeating thing I noticed, maps, and wood or having a texture that looks like wood. Below are 5 of his works:
