'Home is where my Heart is'
Pictured is a three panel collage that Skot created for me whilst I was on a month long holiday in the USA, 2004. He has collected and compiled things that are important to us both individually and collectively from my mother who passed away when I was 6, my childhood horse, me as a child, Skot as a gorgeous redheaded kid, a clip of another artwork he created for me, a map of Richmond, David Bowie, Puma shoes (for him), the Flat Iron Building NY, to name a few.
The main focus of the panel is a enlarged photocopy of Skot and myself. Our apartments wall are filled with Skots artwork while the shelves and surfaces are stacked with my knick knacks and things I love. I have a compelling need to surround myself with vintage and contemporary eclectic 'things'. I believe that an empty space represents and empty mind- hence why there is so many higglety pigglety objects in my home. I believe in surrounding myself with beauty in colour, texture, tactility and overall object.
