Peaceful Cul-de-sac is part of the SOLD series. This series examines real estate as a quasi-religion and the worship of the great Australian dream – home ownership. Each piece in the series is an origami folded structure made with the pages of real estate magazines which conflate bedrooms, bathrooms and parking as contemporary deities and their promise of an enlightened future.
