Door Diaries

THE DOOR DIARIES The Vestry House Museum Exhibition of The Door Diaries30th May - 29th August 2015 by Deborah Nash The Door Diaries are two interior doors salvaged from demolished flats on a housing estate in North London. On moving to Walthamstow, Deborah kept the doors with the intention of creatingThe Door Diaries, bearing the addresses of all the places she has ever lived and texts from letters that arrived at those addresses. The Door Diaries are a memento of lost places and friendships, a paean to the handwritten letter and a reflection of the constant recycling and renewal of buildings and building materials in the London metropolis.   The Dark Door and The Colour Door, showing all the addresses the artist has ever lived and fragments from letters in the outlined shape of the artist's body.    Windy side of The Colour Door, where scattered body parts are receptacles of remembered landscapes. A fragmented ghost is caught in the fleeting window frame shadows that moved across the door as the artist painted.  Copyright © 2015 Deborah Nash All rights reserved. www.deborahjanenash.co.uk
