ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The size of the cellar hatch is that of a real one, details such as hinges and brackets make it seem real, but the juxtaposition of real and unreal elements make it look like a faux object. The cellar hatch is a hidden space of subconscious restraint, a domestic portal from which phallic missiles penetrates the atmosphere. Visually the missiles do not look vicious and frightening, their cartoon-like shapes echoes turned table legs or playful spinning tops, the use of sparkling joyful color make us doubt the danger. Polyester fiber as an illusion of smoke emphasizes the naive visual language, it indicate a link with a nostalgic world of childhood, making shoebox dioramas with cotton wool clouds and plastic animals.

I am working with mixed media sculpture, making and arranging multiple components into complex narrative tableaux of visual excess. The dialogue between components and the way one's unconscious can direct the composition interests me. I try to create a place beyond reality, a deceitful echo of the real world, thet bends the perception of what is real. I want my work to look like a very skilled child could have made it, clumsy and elaborate at the same time. Initially the viewer may, mistakenly, be drawn to my figures thinking them to be toys; however closer examination reveals their rather darker narrative. They invite you into an absurd and surreal world where things are not what they seem... A frozen moment that indicate a story and mood but at the same time is open for the viewer to filter their own references through, to make sense and contribute to the story themselves. My aim is to create a visual poetry based on my own personal story. Contact: Email: Phone: +44 (0) 7807807676
