“The Possible” program invited members of the community into the Berkeley Art Museum’s exhibit floors to explore creative projects together. Many arts and crafts disciplines as well as performance art, and a multitude of mediums and approaches were applied to shared themes. I participated in “minimum dwelling" and asked myself: What is the smallest possible shelter I can envision? The objective of “minimum dwelling” was to transform artefacts that participants had owned for a long time, and that had significant meaning for them, into something new. I chose a laundry basket, an item I purchased at the Ashby flea market when I first came to live in the United States. I discovered that I could physically fit myself inside the basket, that it could “shelter” me. What came of this exploration was the transformation of a container into an open, transparent and malleable structure.
