A Tidy House features work by Sixfold Project - Raewyn Biggs, Barbara Dover, Louisa Ennis-Thomas, Julie Poulsen, Rose Rigley and Jennifer Valmadre.
The exhibition delves into the multifaceted ideas and interpretations of the home. While a house is a universal, familiar and tangible architectural structure, it is, above all, a private and personal realm where we experience much of our lives.
My work reflects on the challenges and contradictions related to ideas about the house and home. Traditionally, for most of us, a house is a place where we feel safe, secure and protected, hence the familiar adages 'safe as houses', 'there's no place like home' and 'home sweet home'. Has the perception of the home changed? Has it become more uncomfortable, precarious and even fraught?
