Mixed media construction by Roberta Marks consisting of a rectangular wooden box that encases various materials, creating an intriguing assemblage. At the top, there is a textured, surface with traces of peeling paint that create a weathered appearance. Positioned centrally is a light switch mounted on a dark plate, contributing an industrial feel. Below the component, a transparent sheet reveals an underlying map of Key West, which is faintly visible through the glass. The partial visibility of the words 'CATHOLIC CEMETERY' printed on the surface hints at the narrative of the work. At the lower section, a cylindrical metal object is affixed, encased within a wire or thin metal holder, adding a sense of depth and dimension.Type of Sculpture
