In this talk I present a body of work on Azurest South, the home and studio of Amaza Lee Meredith in Ettrick, Virginia. Despite being restricted from the architecture profession for being a woman and African American, Meredith designed and built this home for her and her "companion" Dr. Edna Meade Colson in 1938. My work incorporates photography, archival materials, and sculptural objects that weave together the architecture of the house with its history, life, and habitation. It is a reflection on race and housing, expressions of queer domesticity, difference, and belonging.
Dialogue and critique are important to the SPE mission.
