Ted started his Art Box work in 1994. Prior to his Art Boxes, he had experimented with various art forms such as photography, drawing, sculpted walking sticks and more. The evolution of his artwork culminated in the Art Boxes, which became his passion.
Religion was one of Ted’s “favorite” subjects to explore. Not so much as a love, but rather as something he struggled and fought with. Ever since his wife passed away from breast cancer, Ted “boxed” with God, questioning his/her goodness and purpose, and constantly asking why God would let so many horrible things happen in the world. This is perhaps best depicted in his seminal box, “Sometimes God Chooses Not to Hear.”
