dream house

dream house

My work in collage dates far back in my personal history as one of my earliest favorite art forms. I remember being incredulous that anyone would ever be bored; how could you be bored when you could spend your time cutting up your parents' Sears and JC Penney catalogues imagining what your dream house would be like when you grew up? For a while I have wanted to revisit this pastime but with my adult eyes. Here is what I would imagine in a version of my dream house. Right now, the house where I live is not actually a house at all, but an old warehouse. There aren't many rooms, but there's lots of light and space, so it's like another version of my dream house.
