Chippendale made Home on the Run in response to the threat of being evicted from his studio in the Olneyville neighborhood of Providence. Having been evicted previously from several Providence mill buildings—including the now legendary Fort Thunder in Olneyville’s Eagle Square—Chippendale created his house on wheels as a stand-in for his home, a room he can symbolically roll to his next address. Like his studio, its walls are covered floor to ceiling with bright, screenprinted patterns and collaged images.
