‘While Chew’s representation of homes – whether they ne human houses, bird houses, treehouses, or tents – is often inspired by found images, the subject of homes and housing is quite personal. ‘Growing up I felt secure sense of home and place, she notes and yet as a single parent in a city experiencing a housing crisis, Chew has faced housing precarity first-hand.’ – Lucy Hawthorne
