The project began in 1992 when artists Lorraine Serena and Elena Siff invited women around the world to create their own statements, each starting with the same 3 1/2-inch by 2-inch box. Today, more than 1000 artists have contributed boxes, and they have been displayed around the world. About 150 are currently on exhibit.
The Fowler has taken the show a step further with Youth Beyond Borders where boxes created by young people in L.A. are on display. To see boxes created by students from Culver City and Marshall high schools, visit the Fowler on the campus of UCLA. For more information call (310) 825-4361 or see the Web site at www.fmch.ucla.edu.
We got so inspired that we made our own boxes. You should, too!
