I turned the dot variant of Fæking into a virtual exhibition using Artsteps, a free web-based tool.

It’s built atop Unity, and using it reminded me a bit of playing The Sims (albeit, a little buggy). With fifty images (pre-divided into categories), it ended up being about an afternoon of work to create from scratch.*

I drew out the space I would be using. They also have some premade spaces, but I already knew going into this I wanted to have two special rooms. One for the underwater themed work and one for the ones related more directly to fairytale motifs (notably, the Princess & Prince subseries).

I hadn’t really considered the impact of having three-dimensional space would have to showing my work. I’ve shot more than 50 images for Fæking, but only include a handful on my website.

Part of that is they can look repetitive, or like I’m padding space, when all lumped together. Such as the Dreaming subseries:

There’s a lot of similarities because they’re all done in a single shoot. But, there’s also a sense of movement and the passage of time from having multiple interpretations of the same idea.

Being able to move them to their own corner (with three of the eight broken out for being more bacchanalian than dreamy), lets the viewer experience them as an idea within the larger framework of the body of work.
