This large scale landscape is an amalgam of disparate elements gleaned from a variety of sources. The intention was to create a strange environment that is inspired by the world and yet presents a portal to an alternate reality; a meeting place of the real and the imagined.
This painting installation is an experiment. For the first time I have incorporated light as a medium. In order to further explore my interest in time, space, place and memory; two versions of the landscape are held within the one painting. The reading of the work will morph from day to night. Once darkness descends, ultraviolet light interacts with the painted work in order to transform the space and reveal an alternate dimension, a world that is “Other”.
