G’pa’s House Work
This project looks at:
-
Interspecies care
- Cosy horrors
- Shared abjections
- Domestic environmentalism
My grandpa didn’t do housework. This work comes from cleaning his house and thinking about different kinds of housework after he fell and moved into a care home. It looks at human life as part of different ecosystems around one home and new possibilities of living with other life.
