The main components of Paul’s place were a thread and a maze. The labyrinth protected everything important at its centre, and the thread connected the outside with the inside world.
The Art Shack develops step by step, experimenting with materials, and working with simple craftsmanship, until the thread became a continuous, curved concrete roof that formed a light filled central living area, which demarcated a space for solitude.
I see a great desire to express and to tell stories through Paul’s and Felicity’s objects.
After spending this time here, I think the thread and the labyrinth are a way of explaining how it works.
The thread represents the union of all these ideas, images, learnings, and objects that have been gathered. And the centre of the labyrinth represents a love of work, for telling stories, and for the people that share the space.
