THE HOUSE OF SMALLS

The first and original House, this is where it all began. It's a 1980's manufactured build and was the setting for the inaugural show, Facing It, featuring 28 UK and international artists. The exhibition in the image was a selection of vintage photographs of Castle Eaton, a village I lived in, and was made for an awards ceremony.

​

Little Amy's home and studio. The oldest house, this one is a unique hand build, clearly made by someone who put their soul into it. This house will never be renovated or redecorated.

​

Little Amy has her own instagram page, @thestudioofsmalls.

​

The most unusual of the three gallery houses, the Big One is a kit build from around the early 1990s, and has hosted six shows. This Volatile State is shown.

I try really hard not to look for any more unusual houses but this one couldn't be ignored! Still waiting to be redecorated and officially opened...

​

The newest acquisition, the Little one, was redecorated for the Fronteer Independent Art Fair at end August 2022. Unfortunately the frontage was lost in a Chester car park during packing up of the shows...! but it's still great for small shows with just a few pieces. The work shown in the image belongs to exhibitions Shadow and The Time Of Her Life II.

​

I fell in love with the tin bathroom as soon as I saw it and did have an auction battle for this one. It's an odd scale which makes it even more special and I didn't know until I received it that the shower still works and the bath still fills - it's amazing!
