Collishaw says that ' elements such as fire, water, blood, and these very primitive elements are elements that i use in my work a little bit as well, such as using animals and birds to stand in for human beings.'
As Tanner captures his exact words, he continues saying about the interface he chooses to work:
'I do not like going to exhibitions and seeing straightforward video projections on walls or screens;...I try to create work in which the spirit of the video inhabits the inert nature of an object... It is a more interesting way of depicting the image and it also exaggerates the contrast between the modern video and old, inert, dead furniture.'
For me the most interesting thing is that his installations create the illusion of a 'fantasyland'; of a land of exotic animals and of beings kept in captivity; of another 'world' looming in the other side as he adds to his 'free-flowing narrative' the physicality of real windows and doorways. As Tanner mentions, he is' choosing to work between the interface of sculpture and film.'
