These drawings are gathered from different addresses, each one tracing 
data, found in the homes of other people. The personalities of the 
inhabitants are revealed by the choices reproduced in the drawings: the 
clothes in the wardrobe, the magazines on the table, the chair covers, 
the patterns on the rug. By reducing this portrait of home down to the 
infinitely small plethora of our lives, a banal vision of domestic 
value emerges. Each drawing describes confusion, beckoning lifestyles, 
competing seductions of design and possibly the effect of burnout in 
our lives. Too much, too complex, we judge others and are equally 
subject to the same evaluation. By presenting these drawings as a 
series of discovered details shaken loose from reality, a madness 
emerges. As in previous works the housewife spills out over the usual 
boundaries of care into the landscape.
