MY HOME IS MY CASTLE
mixed media (broken souvenirtiles, old & used wood, printed fruitchestwood, props, neonlight, incidentily with sound), 250 x 120 x 120 cm.

This little house is a symbolic image for sheltering and protection. Voluntary locking yourself up, unobserved freedom, an individual hideaway in the middle of a public space. The house is synonym to a shed, sentrybox, beach-, garden- or customhouse, lavatory, meditationcell or whatever. The exhibited situation is various, depending on the environment. Sometimes with sound, open or closed, with or without garden, in- or outside. But always with the neonword 'Gezellig'. A hard to translate Dutch word. Cosy is the best English translation but doesn't cover it all. And always with windows that are flickering, moving and lighted as an inviting fire on the hearth.
