Second Homes
This is a view of the harbour entrance taken from the The Stade. I’ve posted photos of those ‘houses’ before – artwork entitled second homes by Richard Woods.
There are six of these miniature ‘homes’ scattered around Folkestone, all the same except for their colours. The idea behind this is to suggest that no site is too small, too unlikely, or too inconvenient for its neighbours, for a second home. Woods suggests that although the media and construction industries constantly suggest there is a ‘housing crisis’ (so increasing the price of land and housing), the booming market in ‘second homes’ represents a crisis not of housing supply but of economic inequality.
