Home away from Home (2024)
Home away from Home (2024) is a project exploring the relationship between place and identity. How place becomes intertwined with our sense of belonging, influencing our perceptions of self.
Shot on black and white 35mm film, the resulting sculpture utilises the material to produce a tangible representation of a convoluted identity, skewing notions of home and what it means to belong. The images are a collection of landscapes in and around Coventry, Poole and Australia, constructed from Lewis’ own experience of moving between places considered ‘home’.
Culminating as a reconstructed landscape, the sculpture embodies the construction we all take part in to form a sense of self, influenced by memory and nostalgia we seek the familiar in the unfamiliar; always searching for where we truly feel we belong.
