‘Inhaus’ at the De Blacam and Meagher-designed residence at Portobello Wharf by the Grand Canal.

This architectural intervention is a part of a series of life scale interior drawings by artist Oisin Byrne.

The piece depicts a maximalist and lush gothic interior in minimalist black ink line drawing.
INHAUS was initiated and achieved as a collaborative commission with the structure’s inhabitants. Placing the drawing in the window, the viewer is both supplied with, and denied a vision of their private space: the drawing is both introspected and projected, As persona, it is resolutely still an outer layer, referencing of an interior and intimate world.
