Home-Maker has been presented in galleries and public spaces as an interactive domestic installation. The portraits are projected as life-size digital environments recreated in typical Derbyshire and Tokyo living rooms. Navigating the rooms provokes questions on home, family, faith and solitude and allows an intimate insight into seven very different lives.

The Home-Maker set design is based on a dolls house and was created after the artist saw a documentary on Japanese television about a Japanese man travelling to England to learn how to make traditional English dolls houses. He decorated his English home with Tatami mats and Noren curtains and the house became an intriguing hybrid of both cultures.

The project has evolved from a web based project (Home-Maker UK), to a residency in Tokyo (see the making of Blog), then a touring installation with the UK and Japanese work shown side by side. With the dismantling of the Home-Maker set during House Clearance, the work now only exists online.
