For installation artist and sculptor, Greer Honeywill, the blemished surface of suburbia and the concept of 'home' provide fertile ground for her diverse practice.

"Within my practice I have an obsessive need to gather and document - histories, memories, traces of life, and in particular, evidence of life lived in the much loved (and equally derided) suburbs. The resulting accumulations of data provide endless opportunities for artistic speculation. Like an ethnographer or taxonomist of the domestic I endlessly sift, search and reclassify." Greer Honeywill

Writer and curator, Dr Kevin Murray says, "Greer is able to draw upon aspects of everyday life and render these in a form that's quite extraordinary. Her work gives us a moment out of the day to enjoy and reflect. She's dedicated to things that happen in our everyday lives and gives them a new meaning."

While the breadth of her practice encompasses photography, textiles, painting, and text, one consistent seam within her work centres on objects made in wood using techniques associated with the construction of the timber frame for the domestic dwelling.

"Like all of Honeywill's work, these sculptures eloquently convey the push-pull of societal expectations and gender roles, the dream of escape and the place of self. These works urge us to question our ambitions and desires and reflect upon the true cost of what is lost and gained in their pursuit." Kelly Gellatly, Curator, Contemporary Art, National Gallery of Victoria.
