I wanted to speak of things I can’t understand, feelings I can’t name.


I made this paper house whilst on an artist’s residency in Capellades - a paper museum close to Barcelona and the first manufacturer of paper in Spain.
Using clothes pegs and paper I was interested in the idea of home. For me - sheets hanging out to dry have always been a symbol of peace and reassuring domesticity. Being far from home I wanted to enclose myself. I also wanted to draw parallels between sheets of paper and sheets for the bed - housework and being a female artist.
