The last few months I have been working on new work to go into an exhibition title Interrupted Spaces at a gallery called Madame Lillies. Madame Lillies is an old corset shop in Stoke Newington and is run by the artists that live in the building. The pieces I am making for this show sit somewhere between sculpture, installation and semi relief pieces. Three pieces take large scale photographs as starting points for an idea, from which I build away from the flat photographic surface with furniture and building materials. Two of the photographs are of Melbourne skies that are cut across with tram and electric cables, the third is of Blackpool prom tipped on its side. The photographs suggest to me a mood or a poetic place that can be built upon. The idea is to create a place not seen before yet which is firmly connected to a real experience, even if that experience is from a more inner world experience or dreamlike place.
