He made boxes to keep wonders in: small wooden boxes that he built in the basement beneath the small wooden house he shared with his mother and disabled younger brother, the two fixed stars of his existence." - "Joseph Cornell: how the reclusive artist conquered the art world – from his mum’s basement", Olivia Laing, The Guardian, 25 July 2015.
