Cut-paper collage postcard. Is there a collage artist who doesn't love Joseph Cornell? The things that have always struck me about his work are: boxes within boxes, asymmetry, star charts, circles, spheres, glass objects containing things, and of course, birds. The bird is a Black-Billed Barbet ( Lybius guifsobalito ), native to East Africa. The upper left box contains 19th century mineral specimens. The lower left is from an educational chart about development of ants: it's an ant in its egg.
