Eyes on the Street

Rose Bianchini, Jason van Horne

A Space Windows

May 22 – July 11, 2015


Peer into the private lives of an eclectic group of people as they dream, watch TV, stare out the window and ponder the lives of their friends and neighbours. This miniature and whimsical work contemplates the magic of everyday acts. A cast of characters invite you into their ramshackle and darling little homes and call into question what is public and what is private. It’s artwork about how where we live and how our space defines as much as our work and family.

These miniature scenes will bring together many passions: such as Jason’s enthusiasm for architecture and heritage buildings, Rose’s fascination and joy of telling strange stories and our love for creating tiny worlds.
