Domain

In the ‘Domain’ series I am presenting, their context is an amalgam of Baroque spaces, interior and exterior: a claustrophobic environment, which has evolved through obsessive childhood recollections of luxurious yet improbable spaces.
The introduction of the formal interior and garden presents a fictitious environment, evoking a sense of past which is essentially ‘fixed’ by the saturated use of colour throughout.

The relationship between space and figure in my work is intended to be visually uncomfortable, focus and colour are playfully altered as figures appear to be awkwardly displaced or captivated by their formal circumstance.
Bathed in saturated artificial light, these recurring figures make loose reference to the enigmatic and elusive characters of cinema.

My intention is to suggest a visual equivalent to the passage of time, By repeatedly revisiting the images, I reclaim the fragments of memory in slightly different guises, never allowing them to slip from my view: a form of deja-vu.

Slipping between the past experienced and the past imagined.
