Real Imaginary Places - The Mixtape is a collection of pieces from volumes 1, 2 and 3 of Real Imaginary Places.
What the hell is a Real Imaginary Place? It is an invitation to the viewer to take a moment, slow down and let their curiosity wander. To ask questions, like, ‘What is this?’, ‘Where is this place?’, and ‘What do I want for dinner?’ To take a moment and think ‘Well, I could do that.’ or ‘Well that’s neat.’ and hopefully inspire you to make something cool for you.
I made this series because, well, vague gesture at everything, and Real Imaginary Places gave me an outlet to think about fun ‘what ifs’. Like, ‘what if there was a giant glass monolithic cube structure floating over a forest of purple trees? That’d be pretty wild.’
Real Imaginary Places is joined by the ‘Be Kind and Make Cool Shit’ project. And both are just my efforts to make the world a little kinder, a little more colorful, and a little more curious.
