My practice is research based and process led. Informed by art history and by my own lived experience, I explore themes of fragility, transience and the universality of our shared human condition. I approach photography as an instrument of illusion, to beguile rather than document. By delving into the potential of the photographic object to conjure new meaning, I invite the viewer to reflect and to question what lies beyond the image. The postcard images I am sending are digital prints (on Hahnemühle Bamboo mounted on Khadi paper) of photopolymer gravures I made of my children's hands when they were younger, capturing a brief gesture and a moment of time in their lives. I have always felt that hands communicate meaning, that what we are able to read from the face may also be revealed through the hands, they impart, express, convey, their gestures speak of the person within. I entitled the works 'Dreams of Tomorrow', they spoke to me of future hopes, aspirations and dreams.
