Amber Boardman transforms the gallery into a dreamlike version of a home, blurring the line between the real and the imagined. Large vinyl prints, designed with 3D modelling software, cover the walls, each one depicting a different room. These digital interiors set the stage, creating the illusion of a house within the gallery.

Amidst this illusion, the only truly physical objects are the paintings. They act like portals, opening into other realms. Each painting contains a threshold, a window, a screen, a cave, a hole, inviting viewers to look beyond.

Homes are usually spaces of comfort and familiarity. But here, the familiar becomes unsettling. Screens stretch into infinity, paintings suggest allegories, and the domestic setting shifts into something uncanny. The ordinary frame of the home becomes a lens for encountering the strange.
