Midnight Mall

The Midnight Mall is an ongoing series of narrative images, which I began shortly after the earthquake that hit Christchurch in 2011, taking a large part of the city with it. All these images began to appear in my head, as if the quake had caused the door to a hidden room to open. We all have a place (or several) that we escape to, whether it be books, music, films or images. The Midnight Mall lies on the threshold, where memory, dreams and imagination meet. It’s the place where my love of fantasy and sci-fi and my fascination with set and costume design in movies and on stage come together with the fairytales, myths and lore of my country of birth, to form new dream scapes where scale, characters and objects can be fluid.Like dreams, they hint of stories without ever solidifying into a clear, linear structure. I hope this leaves them open for others to visit, to enter into with their own stories and dreams.
