well I just kind of liked it

To inhabit a home means to leave traces; it is a place of self-expression, a place of one’s own. We collect and display what we choose: a print, a chipped figurine, a collection of spoons or plates, photographs, books, a rug, a painting whose origin is forgotten, an unmade bed …

well I just kind of like it, edited by Wendy Erskine, comprises a collection of writing and images about art in the home and the home as art. Through a beautifully arranged series of essays, conversations, photographs, fragments, drawings, and reflections, each contributor sheds light on the stuff of the home in a vital and compelling way.

‘A powerful look at a wide and idiosyncratic range of work … There’s a sense, throughout, of things that had been peripheral coming into focus.’
– Niamh Donnelly, Irish Times

‘Undoubtedly a vibrant tapestry of work. Erskine masterfully concocts a visual feast.’
– Aisling Arundel, Totally Dublin

‘This collection lends credence to our own personal tastes, and to our human impulse as curators and creators of art.’
– Andrea Cleary, Sunday Business Post
