Katrina Thomson uses sculpture to develop ideas around mind-power and fantasy. Fantasy is the wider context used to address the pursuit of leisure, comfort and escapism.
By using film and a combination of trompe loei'l and faux effects real spaces are to be traded for something more fantastical. Film as escapism simulates reality to potray psychological fragments. These fragments as Thomson's objects work as a riddle, seperate pieces that link like a word association game. Thomson states “I imagine the timbre of the work will be a mixture; existential banality, melancholy and reflection offset against transcendence and celebration all to do with the survival of (or the escapism of) reality and the modern world.
