The work Borderland conjures up a terrain ‘in between’, a land where different elements can influence each other and a soil often torn by conflicts. In her recent exhibition in North London Art Lab artist Suzy Moxhay seeks out these meanings in both in her choice of medium and the subject. By using classic photography and ‘object trouve’- such as scraps of old magazines, images from 50’s and 70’s, a process famously employed by Surrealists, she plays with the multiple meanings of ‘borderland.’ In Moxhay’s works the ‘borderlands’ are places with no people, but which are strewn with their traces: a bridge, cable-railway, and oil wells. Her landscapes echo those from Westerns and science fiction and, like these genres, explore the darker aspects of human behaviour. On closer inspection of ‘Swarm’ one can see the battalions of plane fighters filling up the sky. The landscape is no longer a scene from our dreams, but a picture of conflict. Suzy Moxhay is constantly moving her images between real and illusory space and playing with the scale of elements and in so doing she manages to place the viewer in a borderland of imagination and reality.
