Three Spaces, Three Places

A triptych of 3 screenprints depicting portraits of people living in and around London. This series explores modern day 'home' from a range of living situations, exploring similarities and differences across themes of sentimentality, objects of importance, sensory stimuli, and what makes their space feel like 'home'.

I went to each subject's residences and by their lead chose a room to depict. I drew objects that they had decorated the room with, and in some cases had gathered to present to me. I also found my own items in the room which may have been overlooked by their owners, but were clearly integral to the space and their identity. I sketched and photographed these objects and rooms as well as drawing portraits of my subjects in relaxed positions, led by them.

As well as gathering visual records, I also recorded an interview with each subject. They were asked 11 simple questions about their space and home situation, and I used this to inform each print.
