Domestic Stratigraphy Series
The Domestic Stratigraphy Series is an ongoing series of drawings, graphic prints and small-scale installations, that examine themes of labor, the domestic. The works negotiate the threshold between public and private space and examine various aspects of who arbitrates this boundary; there are both administrative and subjective rules to what defines public space, yet both are codified through use.
In these works, I take a psychogeographic approach to a variety of subject matter: terraced Cycladic hillsides, traces of the natural geography of the city in the form of urban rocks, patterns from domestic furniture, and an archive I collected over 15 years about my childhood home which has since been demolished. These - sometimes uneasy- juxtapositions seek to inhabit a liminal spaces in time and emplacement. On the one hand the propose unseen labor over generations and centuries as a monument and on the other they question ‘natural emplacement’, who ‘belongs’ in a certain place, and who can make a home there.
