We always think of imagination as the faculty that forms images. On the contrary, it deforms what we perceive; it is the faculty that frees us from immediate images and changes them.
Once viewed, an image becomes part of the reservoir of images, thoughts and ideas that collect within the human mind. The image suggests: the viewer takes and makes from it what they will.
The scenarios and fantasies drawn from the reservoir within the mind embody mystery. Blending the known and the unknown, images circulating in the realm of fantasy play on the desire to interpret, to make sense of. For the viewer, and perhaps the creator, intention or narrative remains ambiguous. Narrative may gather the images together, but it remains a constantly fluid structure, open to change, to construction and reconstruction. The imagined scenario is never completely resolved, leaving a secret to be unravelled.
