8am to 6pm

This drawing was my attempt to continue where my work had left off in the “ideal HOME” project. The focus of work had shifted I wanted to show what was (or perhaps could have been) left behind, the trace of lives. Letting the viewer see in to a world, an uncomfortable world of a context of grim, everyday life, whist tiring to understand the narrative of what are seeing.
With this mind it seemed more appropriate to place my work in to the environments that reinforce the ideas of the work, as I had in Bentilee. My initial idea was to using an entire room, drawing directly on to the walls, the viewer was no longer just an observer but involved with the work in a more physical panorama.


As I progressed, I feel that this concept held two inherent problems, the first begin that if the images would work better in different environment than a studio and the practicality with in a working studio, such as using projection with in a confined space or interfering with others using exhibition spaces.
The work I had produced for ideal home exhibition had been a success because it fitted comfortable with in the surroundings. It become clear that if the images where place in an environment that was outside the studio, the viewer would connect more with the themes of the work.
