House

In 2016-17 I undertook a practice based Masters in illustration. I produced an artefact to accompany my dissertation titled ‘House’. House is an illustrated story based on the subject of home, dealing with themes of domesticity, dreams of the past and the future, but it is also a metaphor for contemporary housing issues.

“It is the symbolic nature of the home, that ‘storehouse of signs’ … where the home is ‘conceptualised both as a social symbol and an extension of the self’ …” Mike Hepworth
