Images 1996-2003



Creates surrealist images by building elaborate sets and environments, the process of which can take months to complete. Once completed, she photographs the set, often with actors or sculpting's. There is often an overwhelming amount of one object, usually strange to begin with but made stranger when multiplied across the set/environment; also usually either bright or contrasting colours. 

Of course the massive sets are too elaborate for my time scale, but depending what is available to me this kind of style is quite accessible. I've already collected a number of images with the use of mannequins, however I could only carry so many with myself without the use of a van. My intention is to use perhaps smaller object, completely taken out of their usual context. As said previously, this is to study and photograph an objects nature and structure in bizarre surroundings to what it is usually found.
