"Silver House presents a narrativity and a cinematic conception of a space configured between a woman, Eilish Lavelle, whose voice we hear, and her architectural vision for her home in Goleen, West Cork.
The house: a home, once a horse-stable, transformed in the 1970's into a dream of the future; floor to ceiling windows, glass and chrome furniture, bathroom walls cover in mirrored silver paper; a film set awaiting a narrative. 40 years on, its once clean minimalist lines have softened, yielding to the complexities time and life produce.
Exterior: a house, a courtyard, ancient trees, a field sweeping down to the Atlantic Ocean. Ships pass on the horizon, their bulk a counterpoint to Mizen Head the last land mass in Europe seen by seafarers. A Lighthouse – Fastnet Rock – pulses in the distance.
The soundtrack created in collaboration with composer Susan Stenger captures this living, multi-layered home; a house as composition articulated through internal and external forces."
