Homes for Things / Things for Homes is a long term project with TACO! in Thamesmead, London around sculpture and the home. Evolving from a simple idea to give sculptures to local people in Thamesmead to live with, it has developed into long conversations around sculpture and the social life of objects. Why is it that so few people have what we might call sculpture in their homes? Do our objects become domesticated? Does sculpture need a public? What is it that makes something sculpture or sculptural?
The project has resulted in a series of five 30min audio works for radio broadcast (Conversation Pieces), a series of twelve sculpture given to people and an artist book published in 2022 by Rooftop Press and Taco! (see below)

where artist(s) are invited to work with him to throw a party for a public sculpture in Helsinki. The artists choose the sculpture, define the party and invite its guests. The parties re-activate public sculptures, stimulate their public consciousness and ask what we choose to celebrate and why?
