Above, Mission and its contents relate to healing, as signified in part
by the string of Mexican base metal milagros soldered to its top edge.

Detail at left shows the antique door plate on the top of the box. The
viewer peers through the top orb. An antique glass eye peers back
through the bottom keyhole.

Above, The Mystery of Swan Key contains a fragment of original short story detailing
an encounter in a coastal antique shop between two women -- both jaded artists -- and the stuffed, cheaply framed remains
of a once- beautiful Macaw.

Right, a detail of the view through the lens showing a fragment of the collage below, plus text from the story.
