Paddy and Paul's Gaf


60x 78cm Acrylic on Breadboard 2019


These guys built a gaf from pallet racking in one corner of a warehouse. It was underfloor heated via a chip-wood pile behind the wall, which also fed the hot kitchen tap, and a shower. The interior was nicely finished, and was not that far removed from a typical, albeit spacious kitchen and sitting area. Up-ladder was two bedrooms and the IBC tank, and the exterior was clad in various pieces of graffiti-painted panels that were collected. The lads had wine and cheese nights with their mates, which led to some comical confrontation with extremist anarchists who were offended at this typical display of bourgeois behaviour. The anarchists pushed over a cart containing wine bottles and glasses, and scurried away into the compound.
