Suspense 2006 (detail)
inkjet print
two works: 72.0 x 54.0 cm each
Sacré Coeur, Glen Iris
The intention of my artwork was to evoke an atmosphere of suspense by manipulating light and visual forms using digital photography. The work was originally designed as an installation including sound, and was designed to stimulate one’s senses. It can be viewed as a series, or the pieces can be seen individually, as symbolic representations of how suspense, particularly of a sinister nature, can be created. I was influenced by artists such as Alfred Hitchcock. I investigated how suspense is evoked in film and media and the public’s response to the theme.
