A home in stages
2024
Digital sketch and image manipulation.
Two illustrations of the same corner house in Strahan, Tasmania, based on a sketch originally drawn in 2021. Both reflect containment and the collapse that follows. One shows the home overlaid against burning red skies, framed in barbed wire, tense, closed off, holding something in. The second mirrors the first, revealing the internal breakdown of the house after a fire: buckled walls, exposed structure, still encircled by wire. Together, they trace the shape of damage, showing what is visible and what lingers after.
