A haunting blend of dollhouse miniatures, 1950s family drama, and nineteenth-century domestic history.
Davis examines the concept of home through three separate lenses that occupy the same narrative space. The dollhouse segment highlights powerlessness against larger forces. The Philadelphia timeline focuses on a family trying to control their environment through constant monitoring. Edwina Moss’s section explores the surrender of practical management to spiritual influence via Antonin Carême. This tripartite structure creates a cohesive meditation on domestic life across different time periods.
The work bridges the nineteenth century, when Edwina Moss lived and managed households, with the mid-twentieth century setting of the Philadelphia family. It draws on culinary history through Antonin Carême and explores the evolution of domestic spheres from practical management to imaginative surrender.
