About

Visual artists Maisa Talvikki Tenhunen and Charmaine Evans explore the construction of the home and how it is affected by personal experiences as well as the collective unconscious. Drawing from personal memories and socio-political history the artists look into the familiar/unfamiliar elements of the home, highlighting how the domestic environment is shaped by psychological and physical experiences.

What is familiar about the home often gets interchanged with the unfamiliar when subjective memories and histories interact. Through re-location and re-configuring of the familiar and the unfamiliar the artists contemplate the changes that occur when the home is fragmented and displaced. Images become abstracted by the artists’ curiosity of what defines the home whilst being influenced by memories and dreams. With this series of paintings the artists attempt to preserve the essence of the psychological experience.

Different viewpoints of the home are explored within the work. Both artists regularly use photography archives for inspiration. Maisa’s work approaches the theme from the perspective of emotional connections to home interiors, visible in memories and dreams. While Charmaine’s work explores the same ideas, it also explores dislocation and physical fragmentation of the home.
