DETAILS

Estate Sale explores the real and fictional histories of the house located behind Paul’s studio. Until recently the house was home to many tenants living in three different suites. People were seen coming and going often and police visits and raids were common occurrences. The home has now been condemned, leaving a void where there was once constant activity. Through painting and sculpture Paul recreates the structure of the house and imagines possible narratives about the people who lived there and the relationships that develop and disintegrate within such a space.
