Mad Houses
This project was sponsored by the Mad Arts Group in Seattle. I was lucky enough to be asked to participate before I left town. I covered the inside of a home with used clothing. The concept is to discuss domesticity and privacy in texture. the inside reads as though it is comprised of clothing; as though the house is made of the events and experiences lived in it.
The Hearth
the clothes cover the walls, transitioning from white to saturate to suggest the movement from public to private and the activation of the domestic space. it looks as though the building is constructed of clothes as though the home is made of the memories and use it held. Photo by: Elizabeth Phung
Entry into the Livingroom
This room is a cacophony of clothes covering all the walls. looking back into the entry of regularized strips to suggest the difference between public and private and the use and implicit domestic nostalgia of a home. Photo by: Elizabeth Phung
looking back
you can get a good look at the change in color from white to saturate as the room flows away from the entry towards the domestic of the hearth. Photo by: Elizabeth Phung
Entry into my Mad House installation
you can see the scale of the install with the people in there. [and some of the detritus tracked in by the 1000s of visitors.] Photo by:Elizabeth Phung
