“Always incomplete, never ready-made. Houseago’s objects are iconic with no reference point, monumental with no claims, macho with no muscle. They are built from material, time and labour, that then wait to be filled by the imaginations of those that encounter them, all the while embracing the inherent impossibilities of art making”
