"Where is home?" is a very good metaphorical question, as we link with another Monday Murals meme. This billboard mural went up a month ago on Twelfth Night and has a fantasy, fairy tale quality to it. Hosted by Print and Paste, the artwork is is by local illustrator and Middleton tattoo artist, Hannah Mosley. It has just been replaced by a mural for February, which I will share with you another week.
Where would you say your home is? And what's your interpretation of the mural?
I look long and think it represent a snail house that you have with you all the time everywhere were you are in all kind of outside conditions. Home could be everywhere and you make it yourself.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting question indeed and the painting is beautiful!About home, I'm a little bit confused nowadays.I miss my country but when I'm there for holidays for instance, I miss my place here.

Home is where ever you park it ... appropriate for us since we live in our motorhome.

Like Erin I can relate to the snail-shell version of home. We still live in a regular house, but I actually don't consider it home and have spent the last 3 months longing to get back in our home on wheels. If the image above is a snail shell...why is it on fire? I do like how the one figure has roots and the other one is obviously traveling.
ReplyDeleteThat question always makes me make think of Estate Agents for some strange reason!
ReplyDeleteVery very interesting!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a firey conch shell. I wonder if this is part of an ongoing campaign. It seems it a bit out of context by itself. Good eye finding it.
ReplyDeleteBringing a new friend to stay with you.
ReplyDeleteSomehow it reminds me of the Wizard Of Oz!
ReplyDeleteThe figure on the left has no roots and all of his belongings in a bag. The one on the right has deep roots. And I have no idea what the flaming conch shell represents.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a New Age Hansel and Gretel. With an added soupçon of mystcism. Why not? Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know exactly what to make of the picture. My first thought is waaayyy in an opposite direction of everyone else. Now for home... For me, home is where I'm happy. I can be happy in a lot of places. Right now I feel totally at home in two places. One is in our house and the other (as E Squared and Mui said) is in our motor home. We spend a great deal of time there and talk about doing it full time.
