Portability

Michel and Noriko gave me a somewhat crazy gift at the opening at Malkasten that I just love. It is a miniature, portable altar that folds into a an envelope barely 3 x 4.5 cm. It is shiny yellow plastic with red stitching. I've posted photos here of its interior and the wonderful giftwrap image. I don't know what inspired it, but its portability fits perfectly with my small obsession with wheels for everything to do with Roseland. I found so many wheels in Germany. I came home with nearly 100 different kinds to create new artworks. I'll be screwing wheels onto small paintboxes, or 'malkasten', which I bought in Düsseldorf and have brought home with me.
