The fuss surrounding my piece called House, for which I had cast a real house and then as it were turned it inside out, was sometimes distressing, though the money wasn't bad. Here I return to the notion of 'anti-space' and oppositeness with a work that questions all those preconceptions about planar integrity and single-storey living. In order to negativise the building it is necessary to create an ionised 'bubble' around the object and then polarise all the individual molecules. It is very time-consuming and quite costly, which means it's definitely Art.
