When the domestic meets the wild 1999

The focus of the work was an enquiry into the domestic experience, the desire for escape and wilderness. The objects’ positioning either in the ‘out of doors’ or ‘indoors’ is both overtly comic and absurd connoting a madness in the placement - a form of desperation which is palpable within these images. I found I could construct a landscape out of artefacts traditionally associated with ‘women and the vulgar’, (Biggs: 2001) a home-made nonsensical female domain.
