Project Title: Village of Small Things
Practice: Collage
The Experience: Village of Small Things is an interactive collaborative collage installation made from envelopes transformed into individual houses.
Using found images, words and paper fragments, participants would create a house that could be playful, personal or entirely imagined, responding to the envelope’s existing shape as a starting point.
Each house would then be added to a growing collective village, bringing many distinct inner worlds together within one shared artwork.
