Sight Height 9.5 in., Width 20 in., Depth 3 in. Framed Height 14 in., Width 25 in., Depth 5 in. Mixed media shadowbox construction by American artist Drayton H. Hamilton, dated 1988. The work incorporates found objects and ephemera arranged within a constructed box format, characteristic of late-20th-century assemblage practices. Signed and dated by the artist. The piece reflects the post-war American tradition of object-based construction and assemblage, in which everyday materials are recontextualized into narrative or conceptual compositions. The shadowbox format suggests influences aligned with the broader assemblage movement and the legacy of artists working in constructed relief formats.
