So I think about how we dress our homes, how we have our homes, what that represents about us but then also what that does to us, just like with labour too.
It relates to my experience of growing up in the suburbs and that I kind of see them as this holding area.
I have this idea of us as people, moving around and the places that we come from, go to, and then leave, for so many different reasons and the pressures that follow that, but also about us wanting to push ourselves outside of limitations or the desire for change, and I am trying to rationalise about, I suppose, what the pros and the cons of that action is.
The bodies surface, a veil, is impressed upon by our surroundings, our local environment. The objects and the people we have around us leave marks, we have a house, a shell, that clings to us and becomes us. The daily blows this surface receives do not compromise it but toughen it and it provides our protection.
