Red, Black and White, refers to an actual room in my house that is an inspiration for some of the work I create. Essentially I am working with themes that concern the “spirit” of continuity, and concepts of matching. Like Louise XIV, Lillian Graves was interested in creating a unified interior, through colour matching and decor. Lillian and her husband Hugh built this little home in the 1940’s. From living in their personality filled space, I have discovered that the materials used were often found, in the sense that they did not cost money.
For the gallery I selected a grouping of objects from the “real” room, which I then superimposed into the gallery space. There is a quality of fiction in the gallery re-enactment but even more so in the “actual” room. I believe as Italo Calvino states, in levels or reality but not reality as such.
