“Through research of specific locations and sites, my work depicts hidden architectures that reflect and deconstruct the historic, current and potential landscape. Designed in the computer yet executed by hand on site, the images offer a visceral experience that places the viewer into a critical, experiential context that juxtaposes real and perceived spaces.” – Damien Gilley
