“Houses on stilts have been showing up in my sketchbooks. I never knew what they represented, I just knew I liked the way they looked. I found the contrast of something large being supported by something small to be curious and pleasing.

“The state of the world over the last year and a half gave these structures new meaning. The buildings became substitutes for people because the homes were the places that people never left. They were comforting, but also isolating. Our day-to-day, our collective way of life, was put on hold. Interrupted. These works address some of the effects of being interrupted.” – Barry Fitzgerald
