About this work

Under velvet curtains and theatrical light, Alice stands at the centre of her own impossible performance.

As she sings, the miniature circus comes alive around her — acrobats, aerialists and strange little performers descending from above like fragments of a dream made visible. What she once carried in secret now unfolds upon the stage, turning song into spectacle and imagination into living theatre.

The cage-like structure of her costume and the chequered umbrella above her bind the world of circus, music hall and Wonderland into a single enchanted act. Fire flickers at her feet, curtains part behind her, and the ordinary rules of scale and reality quietly dissolve.

From The Imaginarium Trilogy, Alice’s Night Circus is a celebration of performance as transformation — the moment when a singer becomes ringmaster, fantasy becomes showmanship, and a hidden world steps forward to dance in the spotlight.

She does not simply sing the act.

She summons it.

How it is made, and what you receive

Built, not captured
Every element is photographed separately, then layered and worked in Photoshop until the scene holds together as one image.
No AI, no stock images
Every photograph in every composite was taken by me. Nothing here is generated, and nothing is bought in from a library.
Printed on metal
The image is infused into a ChromaLuxe aluminium panel rather than laid on top of it, which is what gives these prints their depth and luminosity. Paper cannot do it.
Signed and numbered
Each print is signed, numbered within its edition, and sent with a certificate of authenticity.
Made to order
Nothing sits in a warehouse. Your print is produced when you order it, which takes about two weeks, then shipped insured.
