The World’s Largest Collection of the World’s Smallest Versions of the World’s Largest Things is a traveling roadside attraction and museum dedicated to exploring vernacular roadside iconic structures. I travel the US looking for monsters of the road, photograph them, and make a World’s Smallest Version of said World’s Largest Thing. Once the replica is produced, it’s added to the window displays of the Traveling Roadside Attraction. When possible, I bring the World’s Smallest Version back to its parent World’s Largest Thing, taking a Meta-Photo of the Big with the Small. The photos are displayed inside the museum, as well as on line at www.WorldsLargestThings.com. I typically travel alone, supplementing the tours with speaking engagements and community events, bringing art to the public and encouraging the celebration of those quirky unique things that Combat Genericana. -Erika Nelson, Lucas Kansas
