Kim Keever
The atmospheric, archetypal landscapes of Kim Keever are not quite what they seem. In fact, they are dioramas set up in a 200-gallon aquarium. Once the terrain is arranged, the tank is filled with water. Colored pigment is dispersed, lighting skillfully added, and the result is as strange and familiar as a dream.
