SURROCODELIA’ is an amalgamation of the art and aesthetic movements
Surrealism, Rococo and Psychedelia
I am deeply inspired by the idea of the ‘Wunderkammer’ also known as ‘Cabinets of Curiosity’
a concept which emerged in seventeenth century Europe, as people began to collect and display objects they considered to be special, unique or exotic
Sometimes referred to as the precursors of Natural History Museums, these rooms were fully immersive environments composed of objects that aimed to reflect and record the endless wonder of the world. A time before modern science had emerged, these objects were seemingly arranged in the room more for aesthetic effect rather than taxonomic reason.
The following works are from the illustrated installation titled ‘SURROCODELIA.’ This artwork was an extremely labor intensive process and involved covering all four walls, a floor, and a ceiling with extremely detailed illustration prints. In total the original installation comprised of 60 unique panels, each depicting a different scene and each joining seamlessly together.
