Then you notice the large lamp hanging from the top of the picture, without any support, suspended from the sky and the spaces that don't quite make sense. This is the joy and wonder of Christine's work, the assertion of a reality where none exists.

Mixing found images, digital photography, household fixtures and cardboard, Christine constructs her imaginary scenes. She starts with photographs, pasting them onto pieces of cardboard, which are fashioned into the shapes of walls, steps, bridges. She then arranges these into a 3D model, placing key objects to emphasis further the idea of perspective within the 3D model space. The model is built specifically for the camera and the process of photographing it unites the various fragments, photographs and objects into a coherent visual space, produced on a single, flat image surface.

The result is a photograph that rewards close inspection and successfully plays with our perceptions of what is real and what isn't.
