Drawing on 15 –17 Century religious painting of flood, fire and desert these photomontages reflect new climate realities. European old masters imagined and interpreted landscapes they had never seen and within centuries we have made them a reality. The four enigmatic children from Bellini’s Sacred Allegory (c 1490 to 1500) populate the series, further unsettling these visions of the future. Displayed in lightboxes these small illuminated series prompt a contemplation of the past, present and future.
