Early in the winter of 2018, I set out to make 60 small houses to fit in a particular box. I did not know what the end product would be like but I set a goal to finish them before April of this year and here they are. Now they are not “complete, complete” yet, it is still a work in progress, meaning, the houses still have to be strung together and I have not yet decided whether that will be a more vertical format or a more horizontal format. And this is a poor photograph to top it all off. (John if you are reading this, I will eventually get that camera!) In any case, I had decided originally that the piece would be called suburban sprawl but the more I worked on it, the more they reminded me of the urban row homes I lived in most of my life so felt that the use of the word suburban seemed wrong. I am still going to make a piece called suburban sprawl but it will be different from this. I plan to complete this piece very soon and will post the final project then. You can read the original post related to this entry here.
Wonderful, the sheer scope of it all I automatically love the yellow ones.

I have it laid out all kinds of ways. It is quite out of control.

I am trying different things. Oddly, folded up, it fits into a small box.

I love this, Diane! Having once lived in a Philadelphia row house, I agree with you that your artwork captures the essence of those homes. Identical structures, but personalized in delightful ways! It’ll be interesting to see how you finish this. I keep picturing Nepali prayer flags.
