Broken Home

A 3.D montage, Broken Home is an installation consisting of 3 timber-framed, interlocking cubes housing a collection of everyday objects, placed almost as if in motion, coming together or exploding apart
The familiarity of everyday objects placed in a different context evokes vivid memories, the way in which I can walk into a strangers house and on seeing some lino on the floor am momentarily cast back into my childhood.

The transitory nature of daily life is captured for an instant through Archive, Catalogue and Museum, where a Moment becomes fixed in History.

Memory boxes and a cabinet of curiosities, Museum Culture and the spoils of an Empire, Categorisation, Classification, Specification, Broken Pots, Vessels containing fragments of the past and telling, perhaps, the story of the people who once used them.

Broken Home originated from a collaboration between 3rd year students of Interior Architecture. Inspired by Cornelia Parker’s Cold Dark Matter: an exploded view (1991), this domestic domain looks at the many components the interior has to offer.
