“I'm interested in the parallel narrative of our fantasy lives. How the moment of 'now' that is palpably real, is surrounded by our memories, our dreams and hopes, the stories and connections that our brains make as we navigate a universe of fantasy, or unreality, or surreality. I'm keen to explore this very human experience, how our minds create our own realities, a blend of fact and interpretation of fact.” MindHumansRealMomentsFactsStoriesDreamRealityUniverseMemoriesBrainFantasyConnectionsNarrativeInterpretationOur DreamsHuman ExperienceParallelsOur MemoriesNavigateUnrealityFantasy Life Author:Dave McKean
“The human face is the most deeply ingrained image in our brains. It is the two dots and a dash we connect with as babies. It is the focus of our attention in our relationships with each other. The face and the human figure express all we are. Everything else - architecture, art, even landscape - we usually understand in relation to us.” HumansArtTwoFacesAttentionBrainFocusFiguresBabyRelationArchitectureLandscapeOur RelationshipDotsHuman Faces Author:Dave McKean
“Usually, the most difficult thing to do is photo-real stuff. Something that has to actually look like the real world, because it's just so difficult to do that. We're just so used to looking at the real world, our brains instantly see when something is not quite right.” WorldLooksRealUsedStuffDifficultBrainThings To DoReal WorldDifficult ThingsReal Stuff Author:Dave McKean
