ONLINE: Dwelling
Browsing through the images from the Artist Registry, I came across a multitude of representations and takes on the mundane. It was not only thoughts around domesticity and interiority that these works evoked, topics that we鈥檝e all been confronted with intensely over the past two or three pandemic years. While looking, something more fundamental revealed itself in this simple, banal reminder: regardless of technological development, of the speed that determines our lives, of geographical, cultural and other differences, the need for shelter and dwelling remains inseparable from human existence. It is one of the defining features of the human condition. One鈥檚 shell, the body one inhabits, is soft and vulnerable and in perpetual need of protection.
