In the 19th Century, artists produced sentimental visions of life portraying the idyllic family.   By contrast, the artists in this exhibition employ a variety of techniques and mediums to reveal the complexity of everyday life in the house and home.  Challenging the idealized social and familial expectations of family and home, they choose to highlight the layered meanings of relationship tensions, roles, rituals, and personal and cultural traditions.
