Origins

Ted started his Art Box work in 1994. Prior to his Art Boxes, he experimented with various art forms such as photography, drawing, sculpted walking sticks, painting and more. The evolution of his artwork culminated in these Art Boxes, which became his passion.

One can see the evolution of Ted’s thinking and abilities with each new box he created. His art went from a number of boxes where he was exploring color, design, placement, and several other art techniques, to the juxtaposition of thoughts, to few cheeky comments on current events, and eventually to the beginning of what would shape the rest of his 25 year art career - involved stories and commentary about today’s society told through his art.

This gallery covers his early pieces that explored some of the basic techniques of art and further expounds upon his abacus concept.
