PUGG - Pop-up Gallery Group
Occhiolino Project. The PUGGS got to work with the incredible Sophi Kravitz in the Summer and Fall of 2022 making tiny worlds for a collaboration with the PUGGs, O+Festival and Sophi. The project Occhiolino was focused on individual world views during the strange time we are living through. The flowers contained little worlds built of paper we displayed at the Pinkwater Gallery in Kingston during the O+ Festival.
