Capriccio, 2017
Giclee print from digital render, 51x42x40.

Preppers

Produced for the exhibition SHTF at Firstdraft, Sydney, and also presented at Bus Projects and Fremantle Arts Centre.

These computer-generated prints present an image of the apocalyptic perspective of a doomsday prepper. Each show the dissolution of a contemporary domestic space from some unspecified disaster — wether real or merely psychological. The series is presented in such as way as to relate to the artistic tradition of the "capriccio", the ruin-painting popular in the European Rennaissance. They show the prepper vision as part of an older history of longing towards imagined disaster.
