If We Were Houses

I am currently working towards a forthcoming exhibition at 5th Base Gallery, London, 5th - 8th July This is from the gallery website ... "Can we visualise ourselves as built dwellings or structures? What kind would you be? This is a different kind of self-portraiture; something different from the age-old image of the person. This exhibition is an exploration. It aims to put different people’s visual ideas of themselves as built structures or places, into physical proximity. The intention is to see into the different kinds of baggage, cultural and personal, which we bring together when we make a new acquaintance, for example, or meet an old friend. The works will be grouped so as to make a 'neighbourhood' where every ‘self-portrait as house’ – or other space – is as important as any other. We hope it will provoke thought and conversation."
