List of works

In the eighteen small wooden mailboxes of Mailbox 141, for a period of two months, small scale, imaginary journeys and endangered animals take to the stage.

Polar bears sport bright yellow floatation devices (to aid them in their long arctic swims) as they jostle for space alongside owls bearing precious stones. Miniature oncillas from South America, it is said, are there to assist with the untying of the eyelashes, and newly found companions are not to be trusted.

We have constructed a miniature world for you, one that seeks to eke out a space removed from original context.

Found referenced in the newspaper.
