The scenes I create focus on empty, illogical and obscure spaces, a preoccupation which leads to an investigation into the psychological aspects concerning architectural unease. Evocative of the notion of the uncanny, they possess elements of the everyday – undeniably familiar, yet totally absurd.
The work entitled ‘Fedora’s View’ is created virtually, using a 3D modelling programme used by architects to create visualisations for proposed buildings and places. Turning things on their head, I re-created a virtual room and re-imagined its memories, creating a surreal and eerie environment. Layering, repeating and obscuring the notion of home and house through distorted spatial memories, ‘Fedora’s View’ aims to de-centre and unsettle.
