Noel McKenna Home interior: door A

acrylic, oil and perspex on plywood door

240 x 82 cm

I have used a door with holes cut in it, but not all the way through. In the pieces I have cut out, I have painted scenes of domestic life, in this case a pet cat and other pictures of life inside a typical domestic space. This is the first in a series of door works where I am exploring the appearance and psychological state of the rooms people inhabit.
