Serisier House.
Vast colour swatches countered by framed views of garden and sky, striking juxtapositions of light and shadow, a pared-back palette of stone and wood, and intimate connections to the landscape. These are the images that fill the pages of this book, which presents Serisier House, a collaboration between owners James and Jacqui Erskine, architect George Hatzisavas and artist David Serisier. The house, a fisherman’s cottage in Sydney, draws from design influences including Japanese architecture and the Arts and Crafts movement, and includes fifteen oil paintings by Serisier, ranging from a large South African sunset to a small, white diptych. The book features photographs by Andrew Worssam and an essay by Gillian Serisier, which provide insight into the collaboration that has resulted in this powerful project.
