This piece is about memory, familiarity and the home and how memory is fragmented and unreliable.
The home is where you were formed/constructed. Its about the baggage you take with you that comes from the home. This is you and how you are presented to the world for all to see. The parts of the house are just metaphors but they are also real. They evoke memories.
These are not the pieces from your childhood home but they are strangely familiar and recognisable. The way that each piece is balanced precariously suggests an instability/fragility of who we are that is present within most of us and suggests a certain unreliability in what is real in what we remember.
This is the inside made outside. The piece is made from pieces of a building and like Freud’s “uncanny “ they are familiar to us but somehow not exactly recognisable.
