House Plans & Photos

JOHN BASHAM

 I undertook my own psychotherapy employing a theoretical building construction model of household foundations comprising an aggregate of deeply suppressed anxieties and associated feelings. In this case the mass and energy of the symbolic foundations were permeated  by experiences of  inconsistent and unpredictable infant attachment and early adolescent parental betrayal and brutality. This scenario led to mental ill health later in life, when precisely the same anxieties and associated feelings were re-experienced and foundations exposed. The evolution of the house over some thirty years celebrates in physical form personal emotional, domestic and social harmony and integrity. There were several phases of creative development, starting with the bathroom, followed by the garage, upstairs bedrooms, open planning of the living-room, the addition of a storm-porch and kitchen extensions. Much of the latter was supervised by a friend, Chris Tiley, supported by a wonderful range of artisans.The house was purchased in 1976 at a price of £10,000.

Billy was one of the characters of Upsall Hall. A bit of bully towards the ladies, and with a dislike of getting wet. Female workers resorted to entering the farm armed wwith a water-pistol just in case. John worked in the farm and art studio, so particularly enjoyed wworking on this collage.

Tree

DAMIAN HOLLOWAY & SARAH FISHBURN

This picture was created using wool from our own sheep at Larchfield Community. The process of cleaning the fleece, then hand-dying using nature dyes, is veery labour-intensive. The is a real joy in removing the fleece from the dye-bath and seeing how the colours turn out. We love to watch Damian card wool. He finds this process very calming. He carded all the wool for this picture, then wet-felted the base and needle-felted the image on top.

Danby Moor Dawn, 2012

AUDREY BARNES

It was a grey dawn. I was sitting watching the shifting light and looking across the moor towards the horizon. I was so quiet the birds and animals ignored me and carried on with their dawn business.
