Objects reveal much about the one who placed them. As they exist in situ, strong intention resonates forward. Things become an unspoken type of lexicon that expresses feeling, thought, and story.
Neighbour is now split into three parts of a significant whole: Neighbour Men, Neighbour Women, and 51 Powell. It is in the latter that these objects come alive. Uncluttered, the space breathes harmony and calm, with provisions that sing for home and workspace.
