    About

    The Really Small Museum is a (really small!) exhibition concept founded in 2021 to spark inspiration, conversation and connection. Just as the Earth and its ecosystems thrive on diversity, this POINT B Museum embraces the idea that to move from Point A to Point B in climate resilience, we must elevate and listen to diverse voices.

    “Sweeping the Wild Altar” 2025
    Natural botanicals (flowers, broom corn, plant dyed corn husks, natural twine)

    “Sweeping The Wild Altar” powerfully explores ecology, sustainability, and climate action by reconnecting its viewers with ancestral craft, natural materials, and the enchantment of the handmade. These dolls, dyed with botanicals and shaped from plant matter that would otherwise be discarded, embody a form of sustainable creativity rooted in respect for the Earth’s cycles. They are a reminder that beauty can be found in what is simple, seasonal, and often overlooked.
    When something looks beautiful and feels magical—like a lovingly crafted corn husk figure framed by pressed flowers or nestled among gathered herbs—it awakens a sense of wonder. And wonder is the seed of stewardship. We protect what we cherish. We are more likely to advocate for the land and for biodiversity when we feel emotionally and spiritually connected to nature’s small, sacred details.
    “Sweeping The Wild Altar” slows the viewer down, asks them to notice texture, transformation, and tenderness. It suggests that sustainability isn’t only about data and systems—it’s also about reverence. By inviting people into a world where craft is both ritual and resistance, the dolls inspire us to imagine futures where beauty and care guide our relationship with the Earth.
