Terrazzo-Doge results from the return-migration of the migrant houses to Italy, and specifically to the city of canals, bridges, and love. Along with the flotsam and jetsam of the sea, Melbourne migrant houses migrate to Venice. The houses become beautiful.
Terrazzo-Doge alters and translates the paper geometries into viewing devices - as way of looking at Venice through the burden of the migrant house. New geometries are folded into telescopic devices. Added to these are the imageries – partially erased drawings and representations of migrant house tell-tale details, well-travelled from Melbourne to Venice (Venice to Melbourne?). What are the tell-tales of Venice? The viewing devices invite alternate ways to view Venice – finding other tales within its well-used narratives of beauty and commerce and other tales altogether. The optical apparatus that offered pictorial details of migrant houses now becomes the frames for viewing Venice.Publication classification
