Publisher's Synopsis
To inhabit a home means to leave traces; it is a place of self-expression, a place of one's own. We collect and display what we choose: a print, a chipped figurine, a collection of spoons or plates, photographs, books, a rug, a painting whose origin is forgotten, an unmade bed. Wendy Erskine comprises a collection of writing and images about art in the home and the home as art. Through a beautifully arranged series of essays, conversations, photographs, fragments, drawings, and reflections, this publication sheds light on the stuff of the home in a vital and compelling way.
