Box 39 is the creation of Becky Roberts, aka Becky Bowie. A California native and Montana transplant, she has always been a maker of sorts. Aside from being an artist, Becky can add florist, film critic, mom, cat-lover, and slinger of vintage clothes to her resume. She finds her true passion as an assemblage and collage artist, reimagining the world around her through found objects. As such, she has a lifelong love of tacky glue.
Artist Bio
Artist Statement
The inspiration for Box 39 came while sourcing materials. Becky acquired the contents of Box 39: a PO Box of one Mollie Jerman dating back to the early 1900s. This discovery compelled her to use the memories and stories of others to tell her own. Since then, Box 39 has been transformed into collages, assemblage pieces, ephemera, vintage everything, and up-cycled found items. Many of these materials comprise her little (literally, little) magical spaces for emotions, thoughts, and experiences to live.
