Laurencia creates a three tiered home for worms in Elsewhere's first floor bathroom. Living in a bed of vintage collection cardboard, the worms eat veggie scraps from the kitchen that participants can spell into words on the bin's surface. Laurencia used cardboard containing Sylvia's handwriting to make magnets for the file cabinet walls. Spell away!
