‘Medical Mocks’ (series) are an illusion of anatomical structures with objects orbiting in microcosmic spaces. The viewer is asked to dissect what appears to be both ‘real’ and ‘unreal’ components, which are deliberately blended together ‘mocking’ the 'real' medical landscape. The images suggest organic bodily interiors, belonging to medical landscapes though they also bear resemblance to something atmospheric or extra-terrestrial. All of the images in this work are artificially constructed spaces and objects with ‘real’ components (photographed by Nancy) sometimes woven into the image with digital post production techniques. Nancy's methodology is comprised of ‘in camera’ work as well as digital manipulation and enhancement to create special effects allowing for a hyper-realistic end result which mimics the medical landscape and creates impossibilities along the way. Both the 'real' and 'unreal' blend together presenting objects that masquerade seamlessly, taking center stage in her medical-anatomical theater. The work is largely about a part of the human condition; the fragility of life.
