*Portrait of a Girl Who Kept Secrets* is an original assemblage artwork housed in a wood cigar box fitted with antique metal hardware feet — the kind of piece that looks like it was discovered in a very particular grandmother's attic and should probably not be disturbed. Standing 10" tall and 8" wide, it holds its contents with the quiet authority of something that has been keeping its own counsel for a very long time.

Inside: a Victorian-era original photograph of a solemn little girl, a genuine antique baby shoe blooming with French beaded flowers and velvet millinery leaves, a small antique metal lamb, mother-of-pearl buttons, delicate antique lace, 19th-century book pages, and a pair of tiny doll shoes presiding over the whole affair from above. The background layers antique ephemera and the soft wreckage of old text.

Everything here has a history. Most of it is not for sharing.

Original one-of-a-kind artwork.
