Detail. Detail, Detail. It's all in the detail.

No Ordinary World

The world is awash with the refuse of the human race, but what if some of it could be reused?

In years gone by a place of sanctuary was required to hide from the fears infesting the mind. A world of fantasy grew all around comforting the spirit. Then imagination was not enough. It was necessary to touch what was once thought, tread the paths woven in the mind, to feel the essence of one's dreams, to walk through what was no ordinary world.

But how?

With gourds in one hand and decades of casts off from a life of hording in another, order grew. With plastic, string, balloons and more, plants, fungi and creatures appeared beneath the fingers that wove them into existence. Homes appeared, small, delicate and secretive, filled with the waste thrown away by human beings. Layers of life surrounded them. A touch of nature was added. The earthiness of the gourd embodied them with an essence that made one believe that this could all be real.

As stories began to be told through the written word, the models, entwined within, both grew in size, width and depth.

Strangers looked upon a world that was like no other. It was tactile, full of layers, it drew them in and, with their imaginations ablaze they too now wandered the paths that lay before them lost in the innocence of a childhood long since gone.
