In April 2021, between two Sydney lockdowns, an ambitious personal project called The House took place in an empty, heritage-listed house in Potts Point with 18 rooms and almost the same number of bathrooms. Shot over 4 days, The House was large-scale, independent, and entirely self-funded, and featured over 25 artists, dancers, and models. The project aimed to highlight Australia's best established and emerging talent, along with some of the local fashion industry's leading professionals.

A disruptive take on art and fashion, The House was partly inspired by Sleep No More, the 1980s art scenes in London and New York (with influences by Keith Haring, Basquiat, Warhol's Factory, Club 57 and anonymous East London parties). The project also pays tribute to Potts Point's cultural heritage, notably the Yellow House, a historical site that changed the area's cultural landscape. At the Yellow House, the house itself was the canvas: every wall, floor, and ceiling. At The House, the same concept applies: most rooms were hand-painted and distressed to look old and weathered, then repainted for a different shot on a different day, reimagined by a collective of contributing artists or brought to life by diverse talent.

About The Yellow House, Potts Point: An artist collective established in the 1970s by Martin Sharp, the Yellow House was used as an exhibition space that incorporated input from various artists and performers. Visitors included Pink Floyd, Marty Feldman, and David Litvinoff. Modelled after Van Gogh's eponymous house at Arles and drawing on the idea of an artists' community, Sydney's Yellow House was a multi-media performance space thought to have been Australia's first 24-hour 'happening'.


The story was shot in 2021, and the book was released in 2025.
