Fluxus Box

Overview
Fluxus began as a small but international network of artists and composers, and was characterised as a shared attitude rather than a movement. The movement lasted until the end of the 1970's. Many Fluxus artists created more plastic forms of art, such as boxes filled with various items (often called Fluxkits), prints, and Fluxus films.
I used the elements of color and space in my Fluxus Box, specifically in the use of pattern design. For the outside of the box I created various floral patterns with paint to emphasize the happy ending of the movie 27 Dresses. In the movie, the main character Jane had many roadblocks such as her sister coming to visit and falling in love the Jane's boss who she had loved for years. Jane had a dark red planner book, which was an object I recreated in this box and her sister Tess wore a bight yellow dress the first night her and Jane's boss met. The objects in the box are very light and beachy-themed to resemble the last scene in the movie where Jane gets married on the beach.
