Digital Chromogenic Color Print

Dopson’s work invites the viewer to see the world from a different
vantage point. In the Fairyland series, the artist takes the point
of view of a small insect and reveals its captivating world. This
series was inspired by an incident in 1917 in which photographs
of fairies by two young girls were pronounced genuine by
respected author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. He used the latest
photographic science to analyze the negatives, thus forging a
connection between science and magic, reality and fairytale.
