The sculpture is a scaled model of a two-story “average” house layout typically sited in outlying, low socioeconomic areas in Mexico. The artisanal bricks and the sculpture were made collaboratively in Cerro Azul a small community of brick makers in Baja California, Mexico. It was then moved across the border in a platform as if it was a timber frame house and was installed in San Diego, California. In an ironic “exercise” the house was scaled from metric to imperial system (1ft: 1m). This project is a critical exercise around housing policies, suburban architecture and household, labour, exploitation of the landscape and negotiation in the border.
