Artist statement: ‘Lost in paradise’ consists of an architectural façade with an eclectic mix of signs to exemplify the homogeneity of vernacular architecture within distant yet connected globalised contemporary cultures. Through memory and imagination, I constructed a miniature fictive space based on world-wide architecture which I then photographed. The camera lens magnifies the model and reminds the viewer that the photograph has been constructed with a miniature materialised object. This aims to create a space of stillness and reflection to invite the viewer to contemplate contemporary signage and urban environments.

Also known as Giclee prints or bubble-jet prints, pigment ink-jet prints are generated by computer printers from digital or scanned files using dye-based or pigment-based inks. A series of nozzles spray tiny droplets of ink onto the paper surface in a precise pattern that corresponds to the digital image file. In dye-based prints the ink soaks into the paper, whereas in pigment-based prints the ink rests and dries on top of the paper surface.
Whilst the term is broad, pigment ink-jet prints have come to be associated with prints produced on fine art papers. They are the most versatile and archival method of printing available to photographers today. A wide variety of material on which an image can be printed with such inks are available, including various textures and finishes such as matte photo paper, watercolour paper, cotton canvas or pre-coated canvas.
