Building a home







This month I was invited to create another installation, this time at the beautiful, dreamy shop that is 'Couverture & The Garb Store' on London's Kensington Park Road. They spotted my recent box works in 'Crafts' magazine and felt the pieces were  suited to the ethos and artistic palette of the store. I hopped on the train to install 'My Dolls House' into the cream window for a two-week showing, with a view to catching the eyes of little ones and luring them into my miniature world, where dogs enjoy trifle on a crocheted lawn. Relentlessly fascinated with the fabricated reality found in the dolls house, I built these curious constructions as portals into my own childhood domestic reality. www.couverture.co.uk
