Open House / San Francisco 2014

Open House is the second work in San Francisco and a continuation of Shelter. As this scenery opened up it connected instantly. This temporary phase of a building during a rebuilt is used as an interface. A back drop for staging the transitioning phase of homelessness. While in the foreground the self is exploring possibilities living in a temporary stage of adapting to the new environment the trial of melting the layers into one by entering the open structure in the background is a critical part of the search for integrity. Nevertheless what stays mostly unseen to the observer is a large pile of wood planks the debris of the changing structure. It creates a distance, a hurdle. Un passable? Being left with the debris of deconstruction entering the Open House becomes impossible.
