Rouen's House
18”x18”
Handpainted collage on canvas
Part of the Other People’s Houses series. A series of work about the buildings that shape us.
There are three places in this world I am a bit obsessed with and I have been to none of them lol! The first being France. Rouen, France is the birthplace of the 52 card deck of playing cards (or so it is a theory). This thrilled me as I wanted to do a piece based on the expression ‘House of Cards’, also one of my absolute favourite songs by Radiohead.
I think that many houses, or their contents, at some point in their existence, could be subject to imminent collapse…figuratively speaking of course. Mostly.
And, I will get to France.
Each of these new pieces contain a home of someone else. Many of these are actual places where people have lived, or spent time. Others symbolize emotions tied to the concept of home, some are dream homes, and some represent personality traits inherited from one's upbringing.
