Upturnedhouse 2012

Phyllida Barlow's 2012 sculpture "Upturnedhouse" is a large-scale, abstract work that challenges traditional notions of architecture and domesticity. Constructed from a variety of materials, including painted plywood, concrete, and wooden pallets, the piece resembles a house that has been turned upside down and deconstructed. This distorted and precarious composition evokes a sense of instability and uncertainty, while also referencing the vulnerability of everyday structures. The use of found and recycled materials further adds to the piece's sense of immediacy and social commentary.
