MATTHEW OSMON
I attempt to explore relationships between self-awareness and the subconscious. My aim is to present enigmatic, engaging and challenging micro-narratives filtered through an invented environment evoking a dream reality where juxtapositions and concepts get shaken and stirred creating new and surprising situational narratives. The images seek the complicity of the spectator in a play between the real and unreal and the conscious and subconscious. Recently my work has focused on symbiotic, mutualistic and commensalistic relationships between parts of the self and the many forms of resistance that one faces in the context of the subconscious and creative work.
