House for Essex
The interior features a number of Perry’s handmade ceramic pots and tapestries that depict the fictional life of Julie which he describes as an ‘Essex Everywoman’. Visitors pass through a series of unfolding spaces before entering the chapel which is concealed behind two ‘hidden’ doors. The chapel itself is organised around a striking decorative object, part medieval rood screen, part baroque façade, that frames a ceramic statue of Julie.
