“Wandering down empty streets past homes, imagining the lives lived within. This exhibition is a chance to step across the tended borders, over the threshold, unseen, to take a peek inside.
There is stillness, the inhabitants conspicuous by their absence. The reassuring mundane signs of occupancy are to be found in these domestic scenes, a vase of lavender, a wrinkle in the bed covers. But we are interlopers. The familiar becomes unfamiliar, unknown, things in the wrong place.”
