Notes
Conversation is a moment in time captured by the award winning artists, Eleanor Watson.
"I’ve always been interested in interiors ever since I played with dollhouses as a child. Interiors are a complex thing, primarily they house you but obviously we have more rooms than we need and the decoration, furniture, objects are all a projection onto space of your personality, your choices, your social standing - all of those things. And they can shelter you and keep you from the outside world. I think the reason they appeal so much to me is the hope of creating a psychological, contemplative space, a place that you kind of explore in your mind without literally entering into - it’s an illusion, an imaginative space."
