Nan's House

In 2007 Manning was invited to include her instillation Nan's House as part of a group show with Moogie Wonderland in Rochester, Kent.

Drawn to the hidden histories of buildings and the stories we create within four walls, Manning felt this most profoundly when visiting her Nan’s house. As her Nan neared the end of her life—and after she eventually passed away—Manning felt compelled to document the contents of the house in minute detail, as a way of preserving the precious memories and emotional resonance held within its fabric.

Nan's House was inspired by childhood memories of playing and building dens in her Nan’s home.
