Far Far Away

With her green bow in her hair a naïve Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz embodies an aspect of the artists own personal context She is dreaming about going beyond the confines of her urban surroundings amongst thousands of flickering windows in apartment blocks to travel somewhere over the rainbow As she stumbles upon her yellow brick road a bedside telephone her communications take her far far away becoming entangled in her obsession with connecting to this far away place Swept into a cyclone of dizzying imagery she becomes somewhat more realized sceptical about who she is and her dreams Much like the ubiquity of television her dreams are nothing more than commodified imagination that has nonetheless shaped her life In this fairytale land she desperately tries to find her way back home
