We see the world differently at different stages of our lives. These images are narratives whose inspiration comes from William Blake’s ‘Songs of Innocence and Experience’. In these poems he outlines the idea that children are innocent and gradually the world of experience overwhelms and changes who they are. Living with a child, I have come to understand that she sees her existence in a way that is totally different from my adult vision. Children work at understanding the world through discovery, curiosity and play. They transform the ordinary into a theatre of imagination, where they live within their own dioramas. Within each setting fact and illusion exist at the same level of consciousness. The tension is a balance between truth and play when the story and the world are equally numinous. The thread of continuity is the self, set in an ever-changing environment while trying to find one’s way in the world.
