E Pluribus Unum
“The
installation on selected lawns was intended to question the myth of
home and harmony. The clapboards of the house were stenciled in red
with culturally cherished proverbs: “A man’s home
is his castle”, “Be it ever so humble,
there’s no place like home”; “Any old
place I can hang my hat is home sweet home to me”. More
realistic lines said, “ It takes a Heap o’
Payin”; “The House Discovers the Owner”;
“After the House is Finished Leave It”; culminating
in “Run Away Home”.”
