‘How Arkley Fits into My Life': Is a response to other art, namely the retrospective work of Howard Arkley (1951-1999). Arkley presented typical houses, streets and driveways of working class Australia. His images depicted what most would call mundane, trivial, perhaps even crass or unattractive. This work is a response to the stereotypical elements of the Australian lifestyle that he chose to include in his work and the way he challenged Australian's to view their simple brick homes in a different light. The black line is an appropriation of Arkley's work ‘Family Home Suburban Exterior 1993': While Photographs of my hair have been layered behind to embed a sense of myself and to highlight the Australian philosophy of owning your own home, your own nest.
