This is a sculptural autobiography to age eleven, the year my father died. The four sides represent periods of time lived in different places (New Zealand, Washington DC, Paris and back to Washington.) Objects relating to those times are ensconced behind glass windows in the "house", and collage elements such as homework assignments and childhood drawings are included.
