Lost Horizons depicts the most marginal of spaces: the disregarded
corners of store rooms and empty houses. These spaces are populated
by equally marginal objects: small, cheaply made, decorative toy animals,
collected from garage sales, flea-markets and antique malls.
The photographs present the viewer with scenes reminiscent of childhood
myth-making and play, wherein the worn edge of a table becomes a horizon
line and a painted
panel creates a turbulent sky. The beauty of these apparently trivial images
is at odds with the sheer insignificance of their contents. The inconsequential
acts of staging and orchestration, which characterise the work, appear barely
worth the effort, and yet the resulting images are playful and forlorn: intimate
and oddly epic.
Lost Horizons is supported by the Arts Council England.
