Invocations is a return to the large scale format and rich colour of Tracey Moffatt's earlier classic work, Something More. Grand in both scale and execution, Moffatt hired film studios and had elaborate sets constructed evoking a 'Disney meets Goya' landscape. The central character is at once a young girl in a menacing enchanted forest and a seductive fully grown woman in a barren desert, juxtaposed with demonic figures and the sensuous muscularity of a naked male protagonist. The work recalls any number of storybooks from childhood with the grittier fictional landscapes of adulthood.
