In Praise of Home

Online Exhibition

Main banner for In Praise of Home online exhibition featuring interior-inspired art at Partnership Editions.

In Praise of Home brings together compelling new collections by six contemporary artists:  Brendan Lancaster, Daniel Dzonu Clarke, Frankie Thorpe, Isabel Garfield, Josephine Birch, Sophie Victoria Edwards. Responding to the exhibition’s title, each artist embarks on a deeply personal exploration of what "home" signifies, challenging the notion that it is merely a physical structure or a geographic coordinate.

Instead, this exhibition invites us to view home as an intricate tapestry of moods, memories, and conceptual frameworks. It can manifest as an intimate extension of our identity, a sanctuary for self-expression, or a lingering feeling carried across borders. For some, home is anchored to a specific childhood landscape; for others, it is conjured by a fleeting scent, a particular quality of light, or a cherished object that brings immediate comfort.

Through a diverse range of artistic perspectives, In Praise of Home examines the universal human yearning for belonging. The featured works capture the quiet nuances of domestic life, the emotional weight of nostalgia, and the evolving spaces we inhabit. Ultimately making us question, where do we feel most at home?
