You come across a large horse kept in a wire enclosure. You talk about race horses and freedom. You feed it a juicy green apple. The horse takes your whole hand with it, sucking on each finger like teats.
Dad’s house is a gathering place, made up of a series of characters, maps and buildings; each accompanied by their own anecdote about a specific point of reference from the artist’s own memories or dreams. Some works are hidden around the space making use of traditional architectural features you might find in a bedroom or living space, such as a windowsills, skirting boards, mantelpieces, cornicing, door frames. Through exploring this domestic dreamscape, it becomes possible to tap into the core of the psyche in a way that is uniquely personal and intimate.
