The work is now complete and we have managed to create an artwork that lurks in the shadows of Entally House, presenting the all too possible future of the estate. Our photograph does not impose itself within the environment, instead, it is neatly fitted and the high cupboards loom silently over the century old furnishings of the Entally kitchen.

The semiotic language of fluorescent ribbon wrapped around trees and stakes that have been driven into the garden has sent shivers through viewers we have spoken with during our install.

A Fitted Kitchen is a Joy to Behold invites the audience to consider the progressive swallowing of rural lands by suburbia. This photographic installation also examines our contemporary value of craftsmanship, preservation and the moral implications of change.

This work is a new commission for ‘In Teers’ presented by Ten Days on the Island, NRM North and Tasmanian Regional Arts.
