OLIVIA BLUNDEN

MY LANDSCAPES ARE A REPRESENTATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE NATURAL WORLD AND ITS INTERACTION WITH PRIVATE DWELLINGS. DRAWING ON THE CONCEPT OF TIME AND THE PROCESS OF EROSION, MY LANDSCAPES EXHIBIT THE POWER AND ABILITY THAT NATURE HAS, IN FIGURATIVELY EMBRACING AND CONTROLLING SUCH STRUCTURES.

TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION AND INCORPORATING THE ELEMENTS OF ART; LINE, SHAPE, COLOUR AND TEXTURE, I PHOTOGRAPHED IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON, JUST BEFORE SUNSET, WHEN THE APPEARANCE OF SHADOWS ARE MOST EFFECTIVE AND PROMINENT. THESE SHADOWS THEREFORE ILLUMINATE CERTAIN COLOURS AND FEATURES OF THE DWELLINGS AND ADD ELEMENTS OF MYSTERIOUSNESS THAT POSE QUESTIONS TO THE VIEWERS. THE PHOTOGRAPHS WERE TAKEN BORDERLINE INTRUSION, SO AS TO CREATE THE BEST POSSIBLE EFFECTS TO FEATURE IN MY LANDSCAPES.
