Both Erika and Louise, circle around a certain simulated quality of reality, their works are stand-ins for something else, for intimacy, interiority or domesticity, but also perhaps for something real-ish where the redundancy of the cliche would have ordinarily sufficed. They speculate on the different shapes that personal space can take and what each of us make of it. What are the effects that our emotions have in our immediate material world, and how much of a home can we make for ourselves? They portray the idea of a home as more of a psychological space, one of constant re-negotiating with oneself where the continuous reorganizing of objects is a projection of this, the equivalent of a cat kneading and softening an area before laying on it.
