HOUSES. Magic Sticks
Original Design: 2008–2025
This collection of miniature wooden houses reflects over 15 years of collaboration between artists and children, united by imagination and guided by simplicity. Created from the most modest materials — wooden ice cream sticks and glue — these structures range from whimsical fairy tale cottages to fantastical temples and folk-inspired dwellings.
Each object is a small architectural poem, assembled with care, humor, and wonder. Some were completed in a single afternoon; others evolved over months of thoughtful construction. The youngest contributors were just three years old, yet their hands and hearts left marks no less meaningful than those of seasoned artists.
Here, a child’s toy becomes a cathedral. A stirrer becomes a stair. A discarded stick becomes a roofbeam of memory and possibility.
Materials:
• Eternity
• Ice cream sticks
• Glue
Creation time: From several hours to several months
"Magic Sticks" invites all generations to build not only houses — but worlds.

See here — a hut, and a stove by the side,
A dragon is blinking with curious pride.
The roof made of sticks, and a fence made with care —
Each cottage a spell floating soft through the air.
Are those little hands, or the hands of the wise?
They build with a sparkle that brightens the skies.
Just five or six years — and look what they’ve done —
A city of wonder that outshines the sun!

In every small piece — a tale takes its place,
With Intention so vast, it upholds all of space.
Паличка з морозива, паличка з кави —
Разом cтворили казкові забави!
Собор із нічого — дивись, як стоїть!
Бо диво живе там, де серце горить!

Дивись-ка — хатинка, а ось і піч,
А там дракончик визирає в ніч!
З паличок — дах, і ворота, і тин,
І кожен будинок — мов з чарівних снин.
Це дітки будують, а може — маги?
В долонях у них — архітектурні саги!
Хоч років їм — п’ять, чи, можливо, сім,
А збудували ціле місто — всім!

У кожній деталі – Політ і Сюжет,
І Намір такий, що тримає Всесвіт.

Так нескінченно діє ДАО-Світ -
Ці палички тримають ВсеСвіт….
