It’s been a while…

I can’t type (or say) that phrase without hearing that song in my head… well anyway, it’s been a while huh? I apologise for my absence, which I will now explain away with a reason containing two parts: My health; it’s been shite. My insides hate me. The doctors aren’t sure why, but I have […]

The Archive: Alice; Not All There

Was it a dream? Was it a hallucination? Whatever it was, Alice wasn’t really there (I’m pretty sure Wonderland isn’t a real place, all the rabbit holes I’ve explored just ended in dirt), so with that main theme in mind, I embarked on a very self indulgent set of prehistoric selfies and amazing in camera […]

Flowers and the Afterlife

Throughout the years, my faith has been shattered, but I still hope there is an afterlife and that the way to it is traversing the universe. Sometimes I dream of the massive expanse, the scale of the planets and formations of the stars. I wake up feeling at peace. Perhaps when we go back […]

The Archive: Alice; Food

“Even when I have time,” he wrote to Mrs. Mayhew (December 19, 1878), “I always decline luncheons. I have no appetite for a meal at that time, and you’ll perhaps sympathise with my dislike for sitting to watch others eat and drink.”* I really don’t think you have to know much about Lewis Carroll, aka […]

The Archive: Alice; The White Rabbit & Pals

Before I start, I need to thank my Father for making this happen. Without his patience, and importantly, his car, we wouldn’t have been able to get to the location. I think it took about six return trips to get us all there and back again. Thanks Dad. I also need to thank Sylvia and […]

The Archive: Alice; Tea Party

This is still the biggest project that I set out to do, so the next few (more than few) posts will be all from “The Alice in Wonderland Project”. At the end of our first year we were asked to think about our final year project that would span the whole year, so it had […]

The Archive: Composition & Days Out

Warning: This is a MEGA post. Any art student worth their salt will know how to make a new project brief fit work already made. This means that time that would be spent making new stuff can actually be used for sleep, replaying A Link to the Past and eating Reeces’ Cups. It was a […]

The Archive: Natural Forms

Remember how I said that I didn’t really connect photography with art or think that they could overlap? Well, I believed that with such conviction that I didn’t acknowledge that I had made that cross over. So much so, that these pieces of work were in my sketch book for Art. And the idea of […]

The Archive: Habitation

hab·i·ta·tion (hăb′ĭ-tā′shən) n. A dwelling place. The act of inhabiting or the state of being inhabited. This was actually my first year (As) exam project, the brief being to create a set of images that explored your personal interpretation of the notion of “habitation”. I basically ripped of Tom Hunter’s “Living in Hell & Other Stories” idea, and […]

The Archive: Contrast

So this was my first set of portraits. Well not if you count photographing a boyfriend’s “band” as portraiture… Anyway, moving on to these actual portraits. This was also my first real attempted at studio lighting. Now, if you’re familiar with my work, you’ll know that I hate (by hate I mean truly detest) using […]
