Nan’s Curtains
The curtains are tiny, only 11cms wide.
18 sets of doll’s house curtains that crucially will not reside in a doll’s house.
And thinking about scale, it reminds me that we are big, even outsized in comparison and that these curtains are a scaled down version of the original. The unwanted curtains that used to hang in someone’s house.
So an adjusted perspective can alter a psychological space or maybe a collective memory. Scale can resonate with childhood.
I didn’t have a dolls house when I was a girl (I never wanted one).
The familiararity of the world in minature is at once both soothing and disconcerting. Small is managed and controlled.
Of interest: the only element that cannot be pared down is the print.
