Rearrange The World is a series of thirty papercut collages that depict a game being played between two hands, one of which bearing a bandage around its thumb. Three objects—a cup, a can, and a bottle—are moved about on a table, tumbling, balancing, rolling and overturning around one another forming new configurations at each turn. The words ascribed to the objects are a combination of common vocabulary taught to children and words that the artist hopes to teach to children. The work reflects on the possibility of changing the world by rearranging it.

A version of this work was produced into a children’s book, published by Thumb Books, a small press founded by the artist in 2022 that makes children’s books for both children and adults.
