The Ambush series are works produced from photographed arrangements of toys at war. As with other series of works, these pieces are a way of exploring the memories of childhood. In this case, the tableaux are reflections upon the boyhood experience of playing with plastic army men. As a child the objects are innocent playthings of fun and freedom, while as an adult they’ve become matter of question and reason. Moreover, the images are created through what I consider recreation; Playing and having fun with the arrangements of objects and images, writing in the reflections of being a kid. Placing an emphasis on the enjoyment of the process while using the vessel as practice of technical skill and exploration of form.
