Seemingly innocent children toys act as a kind of space invaders emerging from a world hidden inside our childhood memories. Here they invade antique Chinese furniture, threatening their traditional past. These toys reveal a surreal and terrifying landscape of derailed trains, drowning babies, crashing planes and wild dinosaurs. They make me question my self-constructed environments, shake up my make-believe worlds and throw them off centre. Out of the confusion a far more powerful world develops, beyond the clarity of logic.
Inside the chaos there is often another unexplored world, offering new possibilities in sense making.
The work of Wokmedia is primarily concerned with the emotional experience, an archetypal memory or a physical sensation. Often they survey the state in-between: where structure emerges from chaos and confusion is beginning to make sense. Out of devastation and destruction they create a new world. A world imbedded in their childhood memories when emotions were not expected to be filtered, when make-believe was not equated with lunacy.
