Mythed Reality

Just as 'Mixed Reality' interweaves the digital and physical realms, 'Mythed Reality' represents an intertwining of the real, tangible world with the metaphoric, symbolic narratives we construct from our experiences.

Within these narratives we find escape. They are alluring. But where the lines between fantasy and reality are blurred, the dream can become too magnetic. We can become drawn towards our personal myths at the expense of the real.

This is something we all face with the dawning of a new digital age.

With these three images I have tried to distill some of what the term ‘Mythed Reality’ means to me. The dangers of being drawn towards unreality with ‘Sirens’. The lure of escape during our most difficult moments, even though we might find strength there, in ‘Escape’. And with ‘Ceremony’ I invite you become part of these myths and to venture into the unreal.

As with all of my work the style is part of the story - a representation of my personal escapism in the fantasy art of the 70s & 80s. My dreams are soaked in nostalgia, and so the colours and textures play a huge part in their symbolism.

And finally, the presence of three moons link everything back to my story-about-stories - The Endling Saga.
