Artoosoq

By Charlotte Squire 2013
The interior might read as internal space, living space or an unexplored territory. Space closest to us is the most familiar yet also can be the most potent. Stripping down the elements used here to a minimum, wood effect vinyl linoleum, soft coloured shades, incandescent lighting, all have a residual resonance of the fabricated interior pointing back to the natural world they are intended to emulate. The faked up light & plastic printed wood-grain have a yearning for the real thing, but in their isolation from a living environment, Thoreau’s ‘thousand revelations’ are left way outside and empirical experience more likely exchanged as an online share. Personal interior space is not to be taken for granted, a right yet also a site where speculation has made the stakes so high that our own habitat has become a commodity to be speculated and traded on.
