Drawn from various
sources — referencing actual geographies and histories alongside constructed and surreal
imagery — the landscape for Todd takes on a certain unreality, there are references to the fantastic, the layered mark, the art
of the outsider, the obsessive, the tiered, the mad and the random and their conjunctions with the present, becoming a world
of open diversity and retrospective reflection — a
kind of performed cosmos where the world forms us as we form the world.
She continues to explain that «this process
of source - gathering can result in my playing games with the underlying
imagery — like some visual strand
of «God Monopoly Charades»; placing seemingly non-connected historical events and figures alongside one another and seeing what
kind of dialogue results.
