The Home Arts
2011-2013
The small, the mundane and banal rudiments of domesticity form the basis of The Home Arts.
Exploring themes of motherhood and women in the home, this series makes a play on the fantasy realm of childhood and the banal world of domesticity.
With a focus on maternal chores and rituals, using nostalgia and classical references to create tension and curiosity in a seemingly playful narrative.
