In this “noonday dream,” a reference to Emily Brontë, one encounters a host of fairytale creatures, playing, sleeping or dreaming. The viewer is drawn in and becomes part of this reverie, which is interspersed with images of everyday family life, travel and game-playing. While the images in the artist’s previous series were raw and direct, Noonday glows with the ease of a summer afternoon and yet still leaves the viewer with the melancholy certainty that the days of one’s childhood pass by much too fast.
