Dream House was part of the Artist-led Public Program offerings at MSVU Art Gallery while it navigated the pause of 2020.
You can also visit the installation online, on any device. <Enter Dream House>
Dream House came out of a lot of conversations around housing precarity. The feeling of restlessness moving from place to place, the idea of having multiple homes, and loved ones often being in a different place than where we live - it's a common experience for many of us.
Gathering over a few meetings, participants & I talked, and drew, and made zines about our thoughts around housing and home.
And then I translated that data into this installation. Some of our drawings were also turned into sculptures for a full 🌸 Spring 🌸 experience.
There were a few hiccups in the beginning, but this installation is one of the coolest things I've had the privilege of making.
This project really helped me understand and think about digital spaces as well.
Special Thanks to Claire at MSVU for coordinating this and being my soundboard.
