Background: We use houses and buildings to represent our various selves and fire has come to symbolize the process of creative transformation. Fire is a uniquely human tool that we use to transform and create, and so has come to represent our creative spirit; but as well as creating, fire also destroys.

When we are at our most creative, we use phrases like ‘I’m on fire’, ‘We’re hot to trot’ or ‘getting on like a house on fire’.
