Dunedin artist Pamela Brown has given up her "wallpaper" home for a week to allow people to wander through and examine each of the rooms, which have become installations in her final master of fine arts exhibition "Dress Ups".

The exhibition, as part of the iD Dunedin Fashion Week, features wallpaper, designers, portraits, costumes, ballerinas, paper dolls and more.

The "daily diary wallpaper room" is entirely covered in wallpaper on which she drew or wrote one thing a day for the three years she was writing her dissertation while studying at the Otago Polytechnic.

From last Sunday to this Sunday, her whole house, inside and out, has become an art installation/gallery dedicated to the work of dominotieres - early makers and sellers of wallpaper.

A person dressed as a dominotiere in a dress made of wallpaper would also wander around the house for part of the day.

The house is open from 11am to 4pm each day, apart from Friday when it is open from 1pm to 6pm.
