I really like these sort of desolate looking domestic spaces, but of course what initially drew me to this collection of photographs was the windows, and the various ways light is entering the room through them. In fact my first thought was that that was what the series was about - various windows. 
A sight like this of light at different times of day, coming from different directions and hitting the interior of the house, different objects and furniture draws a lot of personal associations with memories of different houses I've lived/been in growing up and also provokes some accompanying emotions and nostalgia. I wonder if it is the same for others and whether I could use techniques involving lighting, or recreating a recognisable, but generic space in order to encourage personal associations based on memory.
