Shapes

I found these photographs a little while ago, whilst fighting my way through infinite chaos Tumblr in an effort to locate the creator/photographer: but to no avail. I would love to know who the artist is, so if you can help me that would be super lovely!

Celestial Children

Celestial Children

Lily of the Spheres

Little Apparition

Photomontage.

My old dolls. Celestial child souls. Winged and ethereal. Long lost friends return.

Lily and Little Apparition are actually much older works, possibly as far back as 2006 (when I first began to sell prints of my art work online). I have entirely remade them here, at a much higher resolution. The dolls and dollshouse featured are no longer with me, but it's nice to be able to keep working with them still :]

I haven't decided whether to place these new works in the Specters and Dreams gallery, or else create a new one for them. I am still thinking of compilling a series titled 'The Poltergeist Rooms,' although 'Celestial Chidren' might have to become a project in itself. We shall see!

Old Friends

Orchard Twins 2008 / Penny Farthing 2008

Flower Girl 2007 / No vacancies 2006

Some old favourites.

The Orchard Twins always struck me as if they had just rolled up their sleeves in preparation for a fight. With each other of course. The pear quite possibly took a bite out of the apples head. That's my theory anyway!

Paper Crown

 

Digitally altered section of a paper collage, photographed through glass.

I love the mood of this image. There's this mixture of intensity and isolation which moves me deeply. The remoteness stills me, and yet there's undoubtedly something uncanny about it also. She might be a part of the cosmos, or locked within a chamber of sounds. She reminds me of a projection, a revenant. The ghost who can only be seen through mirrors. Or something.

Snowglobes

 

Recent works by Walter Martin and Paloma Munoz.

The artists created a series of snowglobes, then photographed the scenes within, which I am absolutely fascinated by at the moment. Both enchanting and disturbing (I love the scene containing a confused looking couple, bound to each other by a torturous looking chain), something about them reminds me of the short stories of Raymond Carver, and Kelly Link.

Too view more, please take a look at their website.

The Medium (Lady blue)

Jeremie du Bord de Mer (Book: a gift from a friend)

The Poltergeist Rooms

The Poltergeist Rooms

We'll Be Late! (painting by Leonora Carrington) Spectral themes are all about me at present, very much in keeping with the books that I am reading and this curious state of mind. I'm finding myself straying away from colour somewhat, drifting backwards through time...

I love the idea of continuing The Poltergeist Rooms as a series in itself.

'Moth Mask' is a continuation of an earlier digital collage.

This book in particular has to be one of my favourites of all time:
