Abstract

Greer Honeywill is an acclaimed artist whose career to date has addressed Australian social forms, with particular reference to the home and the material culture of the domestic. In Off the Plan, her gaze focuses sharply upon architecture: both as a utopic, aspirational paradigm for the home-maker; and as the site of a psychological archive of the self. These two aspects or modes of the architecture of the home, representing the public and the personal, could be described as the house-as-desire, and the home-as-imaginary.
