Flicking through a copy of Inside Out July/August 2010 Australia, I came across an eclectic home covered in religious iconography. A perfect example of finding beauty in gaudiness.

Teresa has developed a look that’s decidedly European, but with a personalised twist. Her skills lies in what she calls cambio – to change and transform things. And by her own admission she’d rather things be “a little bit of ugly, to be reborn beautiful again”…Iconography plays a big part in her overall scheme, which she puts down to her Catholic childhood, when she was surrounded by crucifixes, Bibles and weeping Madonnas in her family home.
