Homeland
Luke Tipene (NSW)
Artist Statement
Inspired by an old family chair, Homeland suggests the inhabitation of the thoughts and feelings that this object provoked. Miniaturisation allows ones imagination to embellish an experience that the body cannot. It is the aim of this small sculpture to make real the unreal terrain of memory and nostalgia.
