Landscape Reveries
This project is underpinned by notions of the picturesque aesthetic in landscape painting along with the use of constructed spaces, used specifically in these images as man-made fishing lakes. Where the picturesque scene in painting is constructed by the artist via paint on canvas, the areas in these photographs are created, man-made, designed and built to a criteria questioning the attitude we associate with apparent natural beauty and what that may mean. This project opens discussion to our relationship with nature and how much of the spaces we regard as 'natural' are in-fact constructed leading to question their validity as place or space, fact or fiction, reality or reverie.
