Alien, palmer, tourist [2024 - today]

Alien, Palmer, Tourist is a multimedia collage series which takes inspiration from vintage postcards. Each postcard is a snippet in time which verges into fiction and re-imagines a real-life scenario through collage and surrealist storytelling.

This is a postcard which was sent from Loch Lomond in Scotland and recieved in London sometime in the 60's (I reckon). I've placed the 'mysterious lady floating on a flower' from another postcard into the scene and hidden the address on the back of postcard.

For my reimagined narrative and installation of this work, I've had the exceptional Julia Bisby narrate the soundscape as Jane's Mother and The mysterious lady and Jane is excellently played by Julia's daughter Flo. In the installation, the soundscape is played through headphones by which listeners can interact with the story.

This multimedia collage was shown at OVADA Gallery in Oxford, UK in May 2024.

This postcard had no writing on the back so I took artistic license when creating this soundscape. In the installation, the soundscape is played through headphones by which listeners can interact with the story.
