A project exploring the tiny worlds we create for ourselves in our homes. Microcosmic kingdoms are created in our living spaces across the world, with the idea of having a space where you are free to reign over it. But what of those who do not see 'Home' as one space for example those who do not yet have their own home to curate, or people with transient lives who do not ever stay in one place. people without homes etc... What constitutes home for them? Why is home so important? I have used my own ideas and values of Home to offer playful, wishful solutions to those outside of the norm, creating one version of A Tiny World, in a bid to somehow naively get a grasp on This Giant World.

A series of lifesize gouache paintings were made of objects of desire according to my own ideals and ideas of what makes a home a home, also based on my memories, experiences and research of other peoples ideas and ideals. These original paintings make up the pages to the book.
