This pavilion was designed to be painted...

Conceived of as an inhabitable painting in the shape of a house, the familiar form of the pavilion blurs the surfaces between the walls of a building and the painting displayed upon it.

The shape of the pavilion lends it a recognizable identity as a piece of domestic architecture, in which the art hung on its walls has assumed the identity of the structure by overtaking the house, and blurring the boundary between art and architecture. 

In this way the pavilion challenges the typical modes of art display, by reversing the hierarchy, whereby paintings are typically hung on walls. Here the pavilion emerges out of the compositional folds of the painting itself.  What results is an ambiguous figure, almost a house, almost a painting, maybe a sculpture, but not quite the right size.

On the exterior, the painting bleeds through the surface as a series of engraved lines.  The engravings resemble typical exterior siding while at other times morph into meandering lines turning against the grain of the pavilion's folds.
