Miniature house created for The Selkie: Weaving and the Wild Feminine exhibition at the ONCA Gallery in Brighton, UK, in March 2017.

This miniature house is based on typical Ibicencan architectural design, including an interior sabina wood roof, and the painted folk patterns and motifs are directly transcribed from decorations found at the Font d’en Miquelet, an ancient well in the North of Ibiza. Miniature framed images within the house feature portraits of the island’s payesa country-women, and in the centre of the house is a water-filled, moss-lined receptacle representing a well. The house was exhibited within the Selkie exhibition as a mythical refuge or womens’ ‘water temple’. Materials: cardboard, acrylic paints, found materials (canes, twigs, moss).
