Dwellings
The diminutive paintings that comprise Dwellings depict scenes from rental homes the artist inhabited with her family during the period of their making, 2020-2022. Referring to both the domestic scenes depicted and the focused process of painting, Dwellings captures a sense of intimacy and warmth whilst suggesting the inadequacy and anxiety of insecure living. Each concise scene sets up a sort of proxy home, the artist ‘making best’ of its limited surface.
