Description: Tressa Prisbrey built her first bottle house to hold her collection of 17,000 pencils. At 84, Grandma is a vivacious guide to her brilliant houses filled with objects scavenged from the local dump. At her wittiest, she sings, jokes with her older sister, and combs through the dump. Documents the interiors of 15 houses, masterpieces of assemblage art by this important 20th century folk artist.
