Returning Home responds to ideas of displacement, architecture, and memory. Using soft wax, I fabricated replicas of my many previous homes.

This bronze casting was fabricated using thin wax. If you look closely you can see all the rooms and the staircase inside the house. This work stands on a five foot steel base. Private Collection. 2016.
