This body of work examines how temporary housing is transformed from an impersonal to personal space. Personal possessions, traditions, and acts of care make these spaces our own. The objects one selects to present and live alongside in their space provide a tangible reflection of the resident’s character, or, by extension, a reflection of the relationship between people living in the space.

Through oil painting and wood burning, this body of work contrasts the objects my partner and I brought to our apartment against the fixed architectural features and surrounding environment. The works explore how we have created a home that reflects us within the constraints and potential of an architecture that remains unchanged with each new tenant.
