This was a piece for an invitational show in Jyväskylä Finland. It is a triennial show of contemporary art in a private apartment, the themes are meant to relate to house, home, domesticity etc... Maybe one of my favourite pieces ever! Although the image above is actually a draft, hmm I need to document the final image but you get the idea.
Here's what I said about it, "My project, entitled Swing Space, is an exploration of the realm of possibility one enters into on moving into a new house. Specifically, my new 434 square foot house. Done in architectural blueprints and using conventions of home marketing, the project explores the ways in which use of living space both enact subjectivity and create limitations on who we can become. The project references the way in which tiny spaces in Vancouver are marketed as offering a variety of ‘lifestyles’ to potential inhabitants. We are the lifestyle choices we make and the way in which we use our space. Some possibilities open doors for other actions, while closing off others. The project is both an exploration of these possibilities, and of the pleasures and anxieties of examining the way in which living space can reflect who we become."
