Home away from Home (2025) is a prpject exploring the relationship between place and identity. Using images from places the artist cllas home: Poole, Coventry and Australia; the work takes on multiple forms to create new, fabricated landscapes.
Materials such as 35mm negatives, metal and acrylic are used to create a tangible link to Lewis’ experience of a fragmenting identity, something that is often thought of as fixed but is in fact malleable and constantly changing. Entering a new place leads us to seek the familiar in unfamiliar places, the pieces emblematising the constant search for where we truly belong.
