Ethan Birrell Little Boxes On the Hillside...

My body of work uses the nostalgia for different generations of houses as a foundation to represent the history of Australian suburbia. This work was inspired when I uncovered the history behind my grandparents’ house on Sydney's Northern Beaches, learning how the area went through extreme transformations from paddocks for cattle and other livestock to a maze of houses. My intent in Little Boxes on the Hillside ... was to prompt viewers to question their perception of Australian suburbia.
