'Numb November' aims to document and access my unconscious mind through various methods including, photographically documenting walks that are void of direction or intention, reciting dreams and automatic writing. Collecting raw and experimental data from November 2020, then appropriating these into collaged tableaus that reference pre-existing imagery. The aim was to produce an alternate world as escapism after feeling increasingly disconnected and numb to reality. The tableau format allowed me to provide glimpses into this alternate world. Allowing me control over what was propelled into frame, whilst the rest is banished into nothingness, refusing to produce totality. Within the scenes, I combined CGI avatars and analogue photography as an extension of the disconnect between the 'real world' and the project.
