Grandma's Bottle Village Grandma Tressa Prisbrey built her first bottle house to hold her 17,000 pencils. At 84 when this film was made, Grandma is a vivacious guide to her brilliant houses crammed with objects scavenged from the county dump. At her wittiest, she sings, jokes with her older sister, and combs through the dump. The interiors of fifteen houses are lovingly documented as masterpieces of assemblage art by an important 20th century folk artist. A film by Allie Light, Irving Saraf. Photographed by Philip Greene.
