How do creative professionals who are paid to think outside the box express themselves? At Corey McPherson Nash, we do it inside the box—a shallow, glass-topped, wooden box, to be exact.
14 years ago we resuscitated the quaint craft of shadow-box making and turned it into a company ritual. The rules are simple: Don't go outside the box, and don't put anything living inside the box. But the object is ambitious: to provide a hands-on tutorial in Corey McPherson Nash's organizational culture. "Our basic operating principle is to define broad goals, supply a little structure, and then give people the freedom to do creative work."
With the shadow boxes, that principle has produced wildly diverse visions. Among the completed boxes: a vivid frightscape, complete with a crank for animating dancing-devil cutouts; a meditation on "what it could have been," featuring a loose marble and a list of design possibilities; and Tom Corey's own taxonomy of "bad seeds."
Took a stroll through Ellison Park today. Loved these berries but they were too dark. I wanted to save the composition so played with textures.

For Peter's 4th birthday - they threw the most awesome shadow appreciation party!
Love those wall decorations!
Walking along a Piketon, Ohio sidewalk, I stopped to ponder that here's a fence that had been casting shadows for 110 years.
This shadow puppet represents Reusi, the Hermit, who appears in all shadow puppet performances in Thailand. He is considered to have religious and magical powers and seen as the protector of the puppeteers.
The shadow puppet is made of parchment decorated with yellow, red, and green ink & pierced with decorative holes. The skin is black and the feet are bare. One free hand holds a crooked staff with a bird's head handle. The other hand holds a leaf-shaped fan.
Outside the royal court, shadow puppets from the Nang Talung tradition are used to tell the Ramakien story, which is taught at school to Thai children. Many British school children learn the Indian story Ramayana (or ‘Rama and Sita’), which is what the story of Ramakien is based on.

I asked my 6th grade dance class to play around in the spot-lights, so I could take picture for DPS's "shadow" assignment. I tried to clone the marks off of the floor. I'm not sure how else I could fix the floor...
This V2 Storm Shadow is a really nice figure, though his parts suck pretty bad. I've always loved that camo patterern he has, and he works well as an actual Joe team member. My main problem, again, is with his parts (most of which aren't shown here). They are all neon, and somewhat undetailed. Likewise, his backpack makes him very top heavy. I was barely able to pull this shot off as he just couldn't stand on his own with the backpack on.
All in all, a good figure with decent sculpting and paint apps, but he definitely has to have his accessories switched to really shine.
