HOME-ing

Summer 2021, wearing a costume that spelled 'HOME', artist Harriet Hill walked across the U.K. from her home in London to her family home in Wales. The costume, containing a drop-down tent, became her home for the 34 day journey.
Wending her way across the country, Harriet talked to the many people she met about “home” and its significance to them.
