(PORTRAIT OF A HOME ON FIRE)
Illustrations and a carved piece on wood
in process, 2024 - 2026
Images that portray my home on fire, delicate and measured, a collection of objects between a weapons notebook, self-care items that could be used to split a head or crash ribs, or simply burned limbs. On them inhabit all those spaces that make us burn and all those streets we’ve escaped from.
“I sense my pain, brokenness, fragility. It’s as if I’d always known my house was on fire, but I am suddenly smelling the smoke”.
‘Misfits’, Michaela Coel
