This is a corner behind a small cabinet that we have in the kitchen. Being have recently moved house, I haven't found out much about a lot of my new house. However, I chose the tiniest, cosiest place I could find.

The orange/brown colour of the timber of the floor makes the corner look warm and almost inviting. It has collected a little bit of dust from the one month of human traffic past the cabinet. I can imagine a lot of the dust would have come in through on peoples shoes from the party I held a couple of weeks ago. It gives the indication that this house has definitely been lived in.

I thought Id be curious and unsettled by a new space I hadn't yet encountered, but I am actually not. It makes me feel real in a way. It makes me think about how the dust got there, how the cabinet occupies that corner space and what else could have occupied that space before we lived here. This piece of this house is over 50 years old. So much human traffic would have come past it, so many things could have called this space home. Now, its mine. It homes my cabinet. I feel happy that its now a part of my history as I am to this house.

Making Maps

This is a map to my dreams. The outer 'Suburbs' of the map is reality. It gets 'Dreamier' as the map connections move further into the centre of the map, consiting of suburbs like 'Good-dream downs', 'Falling-awake Dale' and 'Morning smile dreams'.

The south side of the map is more pleasant dreaming, like 'South-city awesome dreams', 'Day-dream ville' and 'Imagination island'. Where as the North side is more nightmarish, like the side of a city that might have a higher reputation for crime. It houses suburbs like 'Heart-palpitations heights' and 'Vivid-vale memories'.

The outer most areas are beyond waking consciousness, places like 'Coma county' and 'Memory-loss meadows' are places you don want to be.

The overall map links to dreaming (inner) and reality (outer) and dot points all that lays between and beyond. The overall image, is of a sleeping woman.
