23/10/07 Financial Services Authority installs a collection of loaned works by Suzy Moxhay
ArtLab has orchestrated the loan of a series of works by the artist Suzanne Moxhay along the first floor corridor of the head quarters of the FSA in Canary Wharf.
A graduate of the Royal College of Art and associate of the Florence Trust Studios in London, Suzy Moxhay has had an impressive early career. Her work consists of imaginary, eerily apocalyptic, landscapes created by manipulating images digitally to create a unique collage style. Her methods are primitive building sets by hand in the studio to photograph, but their results are thoroughly compelling. Her sources, are barely recognisable, converted as they are into a fusion of worlds that at once seem both epic and model-like.
The old photographs are chosen for their dated quality, which are a fascinating contrast to so much slick, glossy contemporary photography currently on show. As she says; ‘the illusory aspect of the work is important, I like to play on the ambiguous sense of scale and distance between each element in the images, the spaces are never quite believable as real but draw in the viewer in a way similar to the obviously constructed spaces of old film sets.
