Collecting Vessel Sketches

Sarah Fagan's January Blog Post: The Extra Sheep

-written by Saran Fagan, the 2015-2016 Artist-in-Residence

A logic problem I first heard in grade school has jumped to the forefront of my mind upon changes and revelations in the decades since. Allow me to share the problem as I remember it:

The Two Minute Tiny House

Throughout the summer and fall, the community of Miranda's Hearth built a tiny house on The Umbrella's front lawn as a public art project.  

The exterior of the house was finished on November 21, 2015 and is documented in a two minute timelapse video, shown below.  It took nearly 800 hours, spread out over 34 weekends days with 3-4 volunteers per day to build the exterior of the tiny house.
