Charles Holland (British b.1969-) Heavenly Mansions, 2019 display cabinet in plywood, MDF, mirror and glass (202cm high, 181cm across, 92cm deep (79.5in high, 71.25in across, 36in deep)) Footnote: Exhibited: Dovecot, Edinburgh, Grayson Perry: Julie Cope's Grand Tour , July-November 2019. Heavenly Mansions was commissioned by Dovecot Studios for the Grayson Perry exhibition Julie Cope’s Grand Tour . It was designed by Charles Holland as a cabinet of curiosities displaying sketches, maquettes and artefacts from the design process between Grayson Perry and the architects FAT (where Holland was a Director) as they worked towards creating A House for Essex , their collaborative design for a contemporary wayside chapel. Like the house itself, the piece combines a number of influences including Russian wooden architecture, medieval and pilgrimage chapels, jewelled reliquaries and ancient tombs. It sits somewhere between display cabinet, dressing table and mausoleum. The title, Heavenly Mansions , refers to the title of a book by John Summerson, the first curator of the John Soane Museum – another building that influenced the design of A House of Essex . In the essay, Summerson discusses the history of aedicular structures, little buildings that inhabit larger ones. In this sense, the cabinet captures in miniature many qualities of the house itself.
