Tilting

Robert Mellin
An eclectic documentation of the buildings, landscape and lifestyle of a remote community on a small island far off the Canadian coast. Mellin describes how houses are built for mobility and then “launched”, or moved, how houses are detailed and constructed and the difference between picket, paling and riddle fences in case you want to build your own.
