The ‘c0de to Home Series’ began in 2023, when I started to recall the impact of the changing colours that I grew-up around in my childhood home. This was never simply a fresh lick of paint or an accent wall, but a continual painting process. As colour began to fill the walls, then up onto the ceiling, and flowing through to the furnishings, each room became colour saturated.

an altarpiece-esque wall is layered with colour.
Womb red to cool blue,
a soft lilac hue and peppermint green,
tupperware sky grey rescued by a dreamy peach,
followed by a punch of orange.
A white prayer stand kneels beneath.

to guide a service of some sort.
It’s spine reads ‘c0de to Home’.

a second white stand, stands tall,
facing outwards, looking for attention,
as if to lecture, preach, judge or chant.
In the centre of the space, fragments are displayed in glass cases,
with layers of colour captured within their edges,
each with a
Each fragment is numbered and catalogued at the back of the ‘Order of Service’.
A chant can be heard,
conjuring a nervous energy,
through rhythmically repeated numbers and other sounds can’t be made out,
followed by a strike,
which punctuates the air.
