Architect Peta Heffernan curates this powerful survey exhibition, tracing the evolution of Honeywill’s study of home to house to place. Ideas originating in childhood memories are used as a stage on which to explore notions of home ownership, suburban development and architecture with a capital ‘A’. Heffernan’s design for the exhibition space echoes the patterns of domestic architectural perambulation, a design that skilfully reinforces the conceptual framework of the artist’s work.
Honeywill’s works in wood (exposed and disguised), explore concepts of social patterning, the blemished surface of suburbia, time lost, the place of self, and memory. Overlaying these concerns the artist also gathers grand architectonic narratives that allude to the power of architecture to affect the psyche.
