I have two images in this exhibition -
Self Portrait as a Victorian Woman in Mourning
A photograph of a photographic wet plate collodion plate.
Created as part of a wet plate collodion workshop at Photofusion London.
My image relates to work produced as part of the group Embroidered Minds looking at Epilepsy and the William Morris Family and the Victorian attitude toward Epilepsy and death
Objects of Desire – or Not
A Cyanotype print of three objects which relate to women. The Baby Feeding Bottle and the Breast Pump both made from glass. The disposible plastic speculum has a similarity to the Pope's Hat. The image is part of a series looking at plastic objects in the environment. The series was made in the Lockdown months of May, June and July in South London . A decision to work in analogue was relevant to what was happening with Covid . The first prints I made were of disposable gloves and face masks referencing 'Roadkill' observations on my daily walk. The cyanotype series is a development of my works using x-ray and shadows. My current photographic work has been based on X-Ray commissions in a number of London hospitals and recently at University of the Arts London Archives.
