The Domestic Space Reader

Another work that influenced me while working on Homelight is The Domestic Reader, ed. Chiara Briganti and Kathy Mezei. In particular, the chapter by Mary Douglas titled “The Idea of a Home: A Kind of Space.”

The Meaning of Home

I have read a number of books that discuss theory related to homes and domestic space, one of which was the excellent The Meaning of Home, by Edwin Heathcote.

Issues of blur

I have been considering why I have been so attracted to blurring people in my images during this module. My intent has been to use people as archetype or examples of people in London, rather than focusing on them as unique individuals. By blurring the people I have been removing the sharpness of their individuality and turning them into a ‘type’ instead.
