The exhibition\u2019s pictures challenge the idea of the perfect curated image of the single-family house. In this domestic space, cups are left on the coffee table, toys under the television stand, and laptops and other devices are strewn around. All of these things are visible, but the method of drawing makes them fuzzy, hidden, ghostly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI became interested in the home as represented in design magazines and sought to convey domestic space as an expression of daily life,\u201d says Voordouw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The digitally created drawings are embroidered, backlit and drawn using dots. Dots have historical significance in art, such as pointillism and Pop Art, and half-tone images in newspapers and print magazines. However, dots are not typical in architectural representation, which is dominated by the line in sketches and technical drawings and renderings, illustrated by hand or computer imagery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The images are a culmination of a two-year research project examining the spatial evolution of the Canadian home and the material content in photographic representations. The research studied 325 projects from 1956 to 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
