By working through archetypal forms, characters emerge that challenge fixed ideas about trust, faith and the unknown. Totemic of a deep drive to externalise hidden things through characterisation and a preoccupation with memory and nostalgia, an image can posit a peculiar melancholy or sense of the uncanny, by memorialization of archetypal heroes, tricksters and bizarre phenomena.
