Laurie Lipton’s Haunted Doll House creates a slanted, psychological realm where rooms are ghost traps filled with yearning souls, secret fears and disturbing memories.
Working exclusively in black and white (“because those are the colours of memories and phantoms”) her unsettling and macabre drawings resonate with the extraordinary atmosphere of Freud’s former home and the uncanny effect of psychoanalysis itself.
One need not be a Chamber—to be Haunted—
One need not be a House—
The Brain has Corridors— surpassing
Material Place—
Emily Dickinson
Laurie Lipton’s exquisite drawings create a slanted psychological realm where rooms are ghost traps filled with yearning souls, secret fears and disturbing memories.
Working exclusively in black and white (“because those are the colours of memories and phantoms” she says) her unsettling and macabre images resonate with the extraordinary atmosphere of Freud’s former home and the uncanny effect of psychoanalysis itself.
