The photographs present the viewer with a series of scenes, reminiscent of childhood myth-making and play. The images depict the unregarded corners of workrooms and empty houses, wherein the worn edge of a table becomes a horizon line and a painted wall stands-in for a turbulent sky. The images are populated by crudely made figures, collected from garage sales and flea-markets. These figures possess an uncertain status: simultaneously suggesting sentinel-like totems, discarded toys and dramatis personae.
