I often see objects and then I see in them a longing
for something else. For me this obsession or act is
about finding the balance between closeness and
distance. That’s also why this sentence “He loves to
be alone, as long as she is in the room next to him”
lingers close to my material acting and sensing.
And because of my obsession for seeing or seeking
longing between objects, I decided on making two
houses in the landscape where I grew up. On a site
on a hill near the ocean where cows one time ate
grass. As a child I dwelled a lot in this landscape
through making wooden huts or caves in the tall
grass. I wanted to dwell there again by reliving the
memories through the architecture of two houses. I
wanted to make two objects and place them in this
landscape.
