Box Room

By Claire Tindale 2017
The carefully balanced sculptural assemblage, of bright coloured dolls house furniture, is playfully precarious on the one hand. On the other, it appears to court disaster, a portend that something bad is about to happen or is it the consequence of a catastrophic event? The space described by the brightly coloured dolls house furniture equates to an 8 ft square ‘box room’ at full scale. The piece invites a variety of possible readings from our relationship with storage and living space to the pressures and vulnerabilities of social housing.
