BEARSPACE

There is a deliberate play on the scale and depth of each element, which appear to hover between the miniature and the epic.

The worlds depicted in the work reference film genre iconography, such as the Western, the Sci Fi and the Horror.  I find parallels between the world of the National Geographic Magazine and other such publications, and the fictionalised worlds depicted in film.

Each image is derived from a three dimensional collage of cut- outs sourced from an extensive archive of collected material, mainly imagery from the 1950s to 1970s.  

From the photograph, to the print, to the three dimensional set in the studio, and then back to the photograph, imagery is continually moved through real and illusory space.  The idealised, whilst dystopian environments created then exist in a space between different fields of representation whilst also embodying a reality of their own.
