This series of wall sculptures is inspired by the typical swearwords of Eleye’s father. The words are familiar in her hometown region and can be considered as portraits of her parent. The bords remind the viewer of practical self-made signs often used for houses, bars, camping sites or boats. They are made out of domestic scrap-wood coming from renovated interiors that show signs of past use and deconstruction.

Deze serie wandborden is geïnspireerd op de typische scheldwoorden van haar vader. Hier wordt zowel de manier van vloeken weergegeven die zowel typisch is voor Zuidoost-Brabant waar Eleye’s familie woont als de manier waarop haar vader scheldt. Het werk herinnert aan knutselachtige doe-het-zelf naamborden die vaak aan huizen, boten of in café’s hangen. Ze zijn gemaakt van resthout, afkomstig uit gerenoveerde huizen die huiselijke sporen uit het verleden tonen.
