As a child in the 1970s I wanted to grow up to be an air hostess, wear glamorous clothes and live in the ‘Brady Bunch’ house. As an adult these childhood aspirations have morphed into a sense of nostalgia for the world I optimistically viewed back then. This nostalgia combined with my interest in mid-20th century social and design histories permeates my art practice. It is expressed in my ‘house portraits’ of Mid-Century Modern homes located around the neighbourhoods I grew up in.
