The Intimate Values Of A House And The Spaces Within It.

My Book:

‘The Intimate Values Of A House And The Spaces Within It’

The language of houses, homes and their interiors; practically, philosophically and psychologically in artists work.

The theme of house, home and their interiors are used in my art work to represent my own memories of the homes I lived in as a child; not simply in the physical sense, but also in a psychological sense.

This study explores the work of other artists who use this theme in their work. I discovered what led these artists to express their identities, beliefs, memories and lives in the language that represents home.

I also observed the similarities and differences in our concepts of home and in the way we present the home to the viewer.

What is the significance of home to you; practically, philosophically and psychologically?

‘Procrastination’

What have you been putting off doing? Why?

What have I been putting off doing? Why?

I have been ducking and diving from the pages scattered across my desk for months. Ok, years!. Well, they’re not scattered, I’m a bit OCD, so neatly arranged on my desk.

I look at this beautiful stack of A4 sheets of paper every day (old school) knowing I just need to complete the final chapter. I am referring to my memoir.

I’ve had to look deeply within myself as to why I can’t seem to write the final pages. After much soul searching, and a couple of red wines (it helps sometimes), I have come to the realisation that I fear failure, rejection (not the book, but me), misinterpretation, and questioning myself as to whether I have omitted relevant information. But more importantly…..I will be revealing my truths, my life, and my vulnerabilities 😱.

If I complete it…What would I do next?

Well, I have got a bloody big pile of ironing to do 🤔.
