This exhibition honors the quiet presence of houses in the work of my great-grandfather, John Larke. Throughout his life, Larke was drawn to the enduring character of homes—places that hold memory, history, and a deep sense of belonging. Whether nestled in a village, standing alone in a field, or lining a familiar street, each house he drew carries its own quiet story. Larke approached these subjects not simply as structures, but as reflections of the lives lived within and around them. His drawings capture the spirit of home—its comfort, resilience, and quiet dignity—with a sensitivity that continues to resonate across generations.

Through these works, we invite you to experience the world as Larke saw it: one in which every house, no matter how ordinary, is worthy of attention, affection, and remembrance.
