Moments in Other People’s Houses
We all die. Some material things we own deteriorate, erode and turn to dust. Helping liquidate properties for sale in a hot real estate market means selling smart and quickly. When I enter a property what I’m really interested in how light travels across furniture, rooms and windows. Time frames the absence of objects, markings of moved furniture, paintings and footpaths on worn rugs. Patterns as consistent as time- the routine of life, it’s all there in a house. Clues, energy - the quirky way things connect us, the wealthy and working class have holes in their pajamas, outdated spices and books never read.. Every house is a story that reflects back parts of mine and a constant reminder that all is temporary. This visual interpretation is personal as it always is.... this series will continue to unfold in ways I may not realize...yet. Series - Moments in Other People’s Houses Cynthia Rettig 2020
