Dream House is showing for the second time at the Zanesville Museum of Art as part of their 73rd Annual Ohio Exhibition. Check it out now through September 8th, 2018.
It was a super fun experiment to install this piece in a new space in a new way. I worked with the wonderful staff at the Zanesville Museum to layout the piece in a way that complimented their specific space. In addition to the piece taking on a new format in a this new space, I got the chance to work back into the details of the piece and make some improvements and additions that I didn't have time for in the first installation. Most of these improvements where to what I call the "landscaping" on these pieces: the elements that add character to the landscape around the houses. I expanded the landforms around several houses, and customized many sets of staircases and fencing. A couple houses also received updates to their slatting and roofing. If you have a chance to check it out in Zanesville I hope it's worth your while.
