View in the Backgarden

Cally Trench - one of the artists of the show "Invasion of Privacy" - creates wonderful large paintings of suburban scenes. They remind you of Google's invasive satellite view. But Cally creates her images from her childhood memories. They reflect the way that children look down on the worlds that they create and play with obsessively - miniature gardens, model railways, imaginary islands, and complete universes made from bits and pieces. 

Most of the paintings are inhabited by a single figure - the artist as a child - often lying on the ground gazing up at the sky. The viewer - in the air? rising? falling? - gazes back.
