About the work
A village rising on thin legs.
Houses lift on thin legs, as if listening to the ground.

Curatorial interpretation
Stilt houses with pitched roofs, drawn in black line and filled with blocks of red, green, brown and violet, gather on a white ground. The mood is bright, communal and light-footed. Architecture is reduced to repeatable units such as roofs, doors, windows and facades, so the painting behaves like a map as much as a view. It invites a reading of community as rhythm: many small dwellings forming one shared place. In the exhibition it appears at position 10 (ROOM II), where its role is: three-work sequence (3/3).
Look slowly
Look for the legs beneath the houses. Notice how the whole village seems to float.
