Site 5: Suzy’s Bedroom
Mouriya Senthilkumar + Ian Tsui
Solace
Woven by Pamela Joyce
Nestled neatly in a row,
line by line,
is the solace within silence.
Not concordant,
but coherent with its surrounds.
Hung in Suzy’s bedroom soaking in the morning sun, ‘Solace’s’ highly geometric and gridded composition reflects Boyd’s commitment to geometric precision, reinforcing his rejection of excess. The varied directional linework alludes to the confused identity of Australia’s urban sprawl with the exception as the silhouette of Walsh Street gilded in gold.
Mouriya Senthilkumar is an artist whose ideas delve into the poetics of architecture. With a deep interest in housing design and accessibility, she critically examines the trajectory of contemporary housing and its societal impact through poetry and prose.
Ian Tsui is a Sydney based architect with a deep interest in Australia’s evolving housing crisis. He explores how design can provide innovative solutions to meet the growing pressures of affordability, density, and environmental responsibility.
