Yay! Thank you for linking! I love how it the size of the rat in a way takes possession of the house. Hee.
Btw - in one of his books Banksy tells an anecdote about his use of rats. A friend had commented on how "it was SO clever - as rat clearly was an acronym for art." Banksy said he was a bit taken back by this, as the thought hadn't crossed his mind - but he felt it would be stupid and a bit rude to say so. Instead he decided to play along, and said: "oh yes, yes - caught that did you?"
I just love what that says about the un-intentional and subconscious in the creation of art.
