Julia
Julia
My flat still looks like that of a student's even though I'm 27. I've always lived in a rented flat, still got a pay as you go mobile, don't buy furniture, all so that I wouldn't feel like I have loans, contracts or materials that binds me to a place.
What people wouldn't know is that I'm constantly on the move in my mind, looking out of the window wanting to be somewhere else. Restless perhaps but more accurately not willing to have anything or do anything that will root me, or to keep me back. After many years of living abroad I have reconnected with my family, a family I kept at an arms length since I moved away when I was 18.
After many years of living abroad I have reconnected with my family, a family I kept at an arms length since I moved away when I was 18. I thought that a close relationship with them would hinder me from travelling, living abroad, be ready to take my things and leave if an opportunity would arise. I reckon that's the same reason I keep a distance to very much in life. Strange that, the idea that distancing yourself from people would enable you to live freeer and fuller.
What I know about Julia,
Her flat says alot more about herself than she thinks it does
she has no interest in what her interior looks like it is
just somewhere to sleep, her flat was just the same in London
she has never experienced joy in makin it look nice as has
always seen her abode as temporary. She is a true nomad.
It doesn't show how creative she is other than the typewriter
she spends a lot o time at home thinking and writing which is
why it is suprising that she puts no worth in the idea of home.

Red,
Here is my homework.
The picture is of under my bed, the objects are a clock signifying my understanding of time ..
a prayer book, signifying my faith
a baseball bat with a golden strip around it signifying my protective nature
a phone signifying my willingness to communicate freely
a radio as it is my constant nightime companion, its is permanently tuned into RTE radio and I go to sleep and waken in Ireland signifying my belief that I only work here but live there.
I hope this is correct...tried a picture of sitting room but it did'nt come out...thought this is more profound....xx
And for the second part of my homework....its simply the colour that appeals to me...lilac, an off mauve. off purple, soothing, calming, shades of divinity, the colour of Rome and the Celestines....the colour of spiritual enlightment.....
the mirror signifies the mirror of my soul
the old radio mic signifies servitude
the old wardrobe signifies humility and lack of new noveau furniture....
) I believe the interior says I am a complex man.My complexities are interwoven in the abstract use of the colour lilac, the flirting with purple and Roman and Catholic contations of these colours.The objects say complex, the radio permanently tuned into RTE, the prayer book , the baseball bat....the radio microphone ....its saying there is a deeper underlying fundamental meaning in these diverse objects and how they are all placed so close to each other.The close proximity of these objects in the most accessible of places says someone who lives very much in the harsh and real world yet also dwells in the etheral world of angels, saints and fairies and lepreachauns.
I believe the historians will see it very much as I do , they will undoubtley be divided on me personally but they will all be in agreement about the complex taste in decoration .
2)I do occassionaly have guests,nrmally late at night, never in daytime hours.
3) I think they see it as 'quaint' and 'confusing'....they sometimes say 'oh its very rock n roll' or 'very colourful'.....I don't think they see the underlying fundamental meanings that I do. I think they often struggle to understand the cmplexities of the decoration and the layout..
What I know about Gerry... He's barking mad......
all in all it says soulfullness...xx

1) What does your interior say about you?
I think the interior says that I am original, enjoy colour and have eclectic tastes.

2) What doesn't your interior say about you?
I don't know how revealing this is but ummmm....difficult this - my house is
kinda an extension of me and my
personality/interests so a hard one!.
So I think that what someone wouldn't
guess when looking at my house is that
I love to play the piano and miss it
every day and I actually have a medium
grand piano but can't fit it in my flat
as it would probably take up most of the
living room. Shot of my favourite room attached (If
I'm honest, all my rooms are favourites.
.!) plus wall paper in that room -
actually it's the ceiling and the insides
reveal of a cupboard.
3) Do you have visitors regularly?
Yes lots
4) What would you like people to think
about your interior?
That it's warm, inviting and individual.
What I know about Suzy from her interior- She is mad passionate about the 50s, she is a casting director and director so is passionate about plays and films. She is very proud of her house and loves have people round. She is very tidy her bathroom cupboard was very organised. She own her house and lives on her own and has plenty of friends.

A: that my nurture (being brought up in asia and having a messy family dynamic) has affected me more than my nature (where i am supposed to from/family history etc...)
QN:Things you wouldn't know about you from your interior?
A: I'm English, Scottish, Italian and Dutch (all equal parts), but i was born in Saudi Arabia
- i got kicked out of school when i was 17 for never turning up (although i was allowed to take my final exams, which i aced :)
- my favourite food is Chilli, or if im ill, Cottage Pie. I absolutely hate the smell of bacon (and yes, i suppose i am technically Jewish)
- when i was little, the first thing i ever wanted to be was an architect.
yes lots.
QN: what would you like people to think about your interior?
A: I give a shit, but i'm in no way done... there's more to come.
She is very well travelled and has a rich cultural background, I think this shows from the fabrics draped around. She has quite a
hippy nature, I think this also shows through the use of cloth.
It doesn't show how creative she is, she loves to make thins I expected there to be origami dotted around. She hasn't lived here very long and she is renting I don't think she is settling for ever here as everything looks as if it is temporary. I find it intriguing that she covers things in fabric some appears it is for decoration but the black cloth on the wardrobe seems as if it is instead of a door, I am unsure why she bothered at all.

Exsquisite Corpse
A floral castle applauds the irresistable corkscrew
And the obnoxious face pelts malifluous coffee
The frosted bulb swirls up into a crisp epiphany
An obsolite tower runs towards the giggling saucepan
Whilst the floral hand caresses the shattered frame
