The visible world is no longer a reality and the unseen world no longer a dream.
-W.B Yeats
'Down a Rabbit Hole' constructs spaces of transition between what is
real and what is imaginary. This photographic world inhabits no
specific time or place. These photographs are eerie introspective
dreamscapes, inspired by fairytales and cinema, presented as staged
tableaux.
This body of work explores the imaginary and artifice in photography
as a borderland between inner and outer realities, and the 'theatre of
the mind' as a place of personal escape. It is as much about the
contemporary construction of images as it is about the need for
escapism and belief in the fantastical and beautifully weird.
As parts of a personal refuge these photographs contain elements of
both the familiar and the unknown through fragments of fairytales and
dreams reflecting an internal world. They have no real beginning and
no definite end. They sit in the transitional space between here and
there as a place for imagination, possibilities, and freedom from
restrictions of reality.
