Through the construction of enclosed, kinetic, miniature environments, Aimee Fairman's Landscape; a space to think explores temporal experience and the metaphor of the landscape as a psychological space.

Employing the use of the miniature and time-based operating systems, the works propose a way of referencing the virtual in relation to the real, the actual in relation to the pictorial, internal in relation to external, and phenomena in relation to process.

The work explores perceptions of transience, time and timelessness, investigating the nature of the symbolic landscape and its use as a potential tool to explore the expression of psychological spaces, whilst re-examining the European Romantic landscape tradition in a contemporary context.
