These pieces began in 2011 as the objects and material that made up Keeping Up Appearances numbers 2-5. Concerned about the wear and tear from the abundance of nails and pins it took to install each arrangement, I chose to retire the series in 2015.  Under a new title I reconfigured the parts into two corresponding wall-hangings that regard the complex nature of home in a less direct way than the parent series.  These new works speak more to the unseen dynamics of living that leave a residue on the spaces we occupy, no matter how well-constructed the veneer.
