E-1027, the iconic, ship-like, 1920s holiday house designed by Eileen Gray and built on the cliffs of the southern French coast near Monaco forms the inspiration for this work. The work utilises original text, ‘laughter forbidden’, found in the house and rendered in the Stencil typeface popular on cruise liners of the 1920s. The found breadboard references Le Corbusier’s ‘house in one room’, Le Cabanon, built nearby and a metaphor for the core differences between Gray and Le Corbusier.
