The Great Escape-The house with the blue door

The Great Escape Series

I have a long-standing fascination with the ways people inhabit different environments around the world, particularly dwellings located in remote landscapes, houses embedded within forests or precariously anchored to cliff faces, where architecture exists in close relationship with its surroundings.

The Great Escape series is inspired by these forms of remote living and presents a nostalgic or imagined lifestyle for the viewer. For some, these environments represent a distant aspiration; for others, they evoke a deep sense of familiarity and belonging.

This sculpture is constructed from reclaimed rimu timber, recycled tin, and basalt rock, and measures approximately 300 mm (H) × 150 mm (W).
