At first sight the inconsequential acts of staging and orchestration, which characterise this work appear barely worthy of the viewer’s attention, yet the resulting images are both playful and forlorn; intimate and oddly epic. The ominous depths and seemingly boundless vistas suggested by these scenes: the presence of small figures isolated in apparently vast spaces, speak to our notions of the sublime, however, although the images allude to dramas more profound than their subjects might immediately suggest, the presence of such absurd protagonists as those depicted here, means that our reading of the images oscillates quite literally between the sublime and the ridiculous.
