Prompt Challenge: Derived

Here’s the third and last matchbox I did for the September meeting of my prompt challenge group. It’s part of my artist in a matchbox series, and the artist is Julian Schnabel. In the 80s and 90s he made huge mixed media paintings on canvases covered in broken plates. It’s probably apocryphal, but I’ve heard the glue didn’t adhere very well and the plate pieces regularly fell off. In the box are tiny painted, broken plates. See Schnabel’s plate paintings here.
