Cruising AirBnB and Redfin was everyone’s favorite pandemic parlor game. Well, instead of fabulous views, inventive floor-plans, or gardens so fragrant you can smell them off the screen, I’ve homed in on curious design details, seriously bad art, floor tile and tacky polyester bedspreads for this series on things you just can’t unsee on real estate websites. As before, and with all recent work, these collages are 9 x 4 inches, fabricated by hand (it’s incredible how many people think I made these on a computer) with either Gmund, Canson, or Blick papers approximately 300gsm. I’ve recently added a new paper to the mix–Park Lane–after visiting America’s favorite crafting store, JoAnn’s. They sell pastels you can only dream of, and though they don’t have the same tactility as the finer papers, the colors are incredible.
