Mel Galley

December 15, 2022

Growing from an early (and on-going) love of science-fiction and anti-/utopian literature I construct unreal places using CAD and CGI rendering. I see these imagined landscapes as modes of analysing research. Building them allows for different ideas and sources to be combined, offering a new point of entry into concepts and discussions. I approach research as a broad and creative process.
