Final Project: Suitcase Doll House










My final project was creating a doll house or play house within a vintage suitcase. My goal within this work was focused on the effort of creating the space not purchasing things in order to create a space. It would be easy, simple and more polished/put together if the accessories were store bought. In my work i used found fabric, found wood and paint to create the accents of the home. Bunk beds made of fabric and wood scraps from a previous project, stairs made from a cut down strip of wood found in the wood shop. Things can be bought but what can be hand made from what is around us is important to recognize  in this piece and important to me as an artist in a society that purchases over reusing or repairing.
