my home in a box





my response to amy's images in response to my images.
basically from jessie, to me to amy, the ongoinging theme has been destruction.
what i wanted to do from that is think about rebuilding, and building.
the last responses ive done have been in NY - the city, so i wanted this one to be very much about my home, and i love that we built our home and noone else has lived here.
ive recaptured that by building my house into a box, and played with interiors and exteriors, as the image is from the outside while its in the inside of the box.
i made the sky box second because i wanted to put something into the house that i built, and sticking to the homely theme i seem to have made - was inspired by my childhood when i used to collect such useless things like crystals, because i thought they were magic, and put them into little jewellery boxes that i'd make with cardboard and way too much glitter. the sky after all is the most magical thing, as its infinate and one can only imagine what its like up there.
so this response is about home, building and collecting. capturing...is there anything you can't capture and keep for yourself?
(ps. sorry documentation isnt better, will try again soon! also am planning on making some more.)
