House of Wandering Stairs

An exploration of imagined architecture and memory, this watercolor and ink illustration presents a fantastical sandstone dwelling suspended between reality and imagination. Inspired by historic Australian and European vernacular architecture, the composition layers balconies, staircases, chimneys, and village forms into an impossible yet harmonious structure. Soft washes, intricate line work, and deliberate paint drips celebrate the fluid nature of watercolor while evoking themes of nostalgia, belonging, and the passage of time.
