Abstract
How can painting express the concept of uncanniness, as discussed by philosopher Martin Heidegger and surrealist writer Haruki Murakami? This research question is the basis of my Honours project. I am making a series of figurative paintings based on a personal collection of photographs that depict ostensibly routine everyday scenes. Using artistic techniques such as abstraction and illusion, I explore different ways of amplifying what I see as possible instances of the uncanny in these photographic sources.
