Beautiful Memories of Your Life and Our World

Memory Box Creations

My Memory Boxes hang as art in your home. They express a nostalgia for Ontario’s past.

Each box is one of a kind:

  • different sizes
  • different contents
  • different frames

My name is Lisa Staton. I make the Memory Boxes , working alone in my studio in Exeter, Ontario. I search Ontario for artifacts and treasures that artfully tell the story of our past.

Early 20th C. No. 1

$SOLD

SOLD. Warm golds and browns make a tonal statement in this Found Object piece. Brass, mellowed wood and gold paper, as well as a gold frame all work together. I was fortunate to find a used frame that had attractive carving in gold along with gold edges around the mat openings, both of which would match the metal and wood of the design pieces. It was also useful that the frame was long enough horizontally to accommodate the 12” rulers. These first design experiments were done with some objects placed behind the mat and the glass, some behind the glass on top of the mat, and some glued directly to the top of the glass. This layering adds another dimension of depth to the design.
