Amy Casey: Houses on the verge of peril

“All of you undisturbed cities, haven’t you ever longed for the enemy?” Rilke

Amy Casey, City Upside Down

It occurs to me that it’s quite some time since I’ve done an Art Elsewhere Post so here’s my first one for 2008.

I discovered Amy Casey last year, via Scott Radke’s blog and was instantly captivated. Her work is both charming and unsettling, full of precarious little huddles of houses, perched on the edge on peril.

Amy Casey, Hive Study 2

Amy Casey, Windy

This one makes me think of The Wizard of Oz!

Yes it is just like The W.o.O!  I like these because of their unsettling nature I think, turning our ‘safe’ homes upside down.

Thanks for posting these works. I’m really interested in seeing more now!  And I’m a BIG fan of Rilke’s too ;)

Nice blog!
