August 2025 Residency - Eden Summer Institute. House of bricoleurs has been selected to be part of the Eden Summer Institute (https://edensummerinstitute.info/) . We were inspired by The Yellow Wall Paper, by Charlotte Perkins and our passion for ornament as camouflage, identity politics and mental health. This is also related to the history of carpet making in Eden, and the impact of the cotton industry (with its links to slavery and politics) in the state of North Carolina, as well as our own research into ‘outsider architecture’, with the case study of the ‘Dot Man’ in Winston-Salem.
This series of mis-translations playing with patterns and colours is linked to some exercises that the Albers were offering to their students at the Black Mountain College.
