The works in this series develop themes explored in the series ‘The Tainted Sublime’ (2016-Present) - a survey of landscapes emblematic of the anthropocene era.

‘Liminalia’ constitutes a continuing and expanded attempt to apprehend the contemporary sublime.

The works in this series however exist only, as it were, on the page; they are depictions neither of a specific spatial nor temporal locus. Rather, they explore the tension between Nature and Culture in a non-space.

Nor are they depictions of a scenario into which we, the viewer, can project ourselves into as a protagonist whether Utopian or Distopian.

Nevertheless, several prefixes are suggested by the imagery: Pre, Post, Non, Anti, Ex etc. While these descriptive qualifications are pertinent they are rendered null by being divested of a context against which they could be compared; pre-what, ex-where?.

However there is a ‘presence’ at play yet it is not an embodied presence. It is rather the presence engendered by the semi-autonomous nature of the images themselves: they feel familiar, true: Uncanny.

In the process of creating the images I felt to an extent absent - the images seemed to spring fully formed into being and I merely the conduit for them to be realised.

It would be disingenuous to say that I had no agency or that the images were not initiated and executed by me yet I have the very real sense that they arrived from, as the title refers, some liminal space.
