Planet, 2011, 25 x 18 cm, Acrylic on paper

 

Louisa Chambers practice explores ideas surrounding machines and devices, both futuristic and archaic and how they could assist humans living in temporary or placeless worlds.

Inspiration is derived from experiences living in contemporary society, the constant technological bombardment, and physical dislocation. Portals and gateways suggest an attempt to escape from this dystopian reality and assist humans to a better existence. They symbolise personal narratives but are also in response to the affects of western society and the daily burden of robotic control on our lives. Enjoying the conflict between ideas and realisation but also the friction created by falling in and out of personal dreamscapes.
