Fallowfield
is a deeply personal and imaginative exploration of abandonment, regeneration, and artistic rebirth. Rooted in the story of a miniature Victorian-style dollhouse painstakingly constructed, decorated, and ultimately destroyed by fire, the exhibition documents the life and slow demise of this small structure through photography, film, installation, and sculptural pieces. The result is a powerful meditation on memory, decay, and transformation.
What began in 2022 as a spontaneous creative experiment - inspired by the abandoned homes of post-industrial Detroit and the large-scale conceptual work of Canadian artist Heather Benning - evolved into something far more significant. Left to the elements, the dollhouse became a living installation: mould spread, birds nested, and nature reclaimed the space. Eventually, in 2024, the house was ceremoniously set alight, its destruction captured as the culmination of a long observational process.
