This installation explores the portrayal of prehistoric animals in toys, palaeoart, and museum displays pre the 1993 film Jurassic Park. Of interest is the ever-changing nature of pop-palaeontological culture and how this constant change is reflected in representations and reconstructions of prehistoric life. By constructing a fictitious museum—called The Pop-Palaeo Museum—that uses multimedia sculptural and photographic methods, I express what is lost through a disregard for pre-digital museum displays and highlight the dinosaur as an ever-changing form. Specifically, my methods draw on analogue techniques, which are reworked through contemporary processes aligned with pre-Jurassic Park representations of prehistoric life.
