Fotografia Digitale, Ritratto, 880x1107x.7cm
A life size portrait of yoga teacher Angela, 2015
I have used photography as my main medium for the passed 3 years.
The camera allows me to work with my ideas on female identity directly with my subject matter. I use a studio environment which can bring an element of intimacy to the session or work within the environment that suits the idea at the time. Which ever it is, it’s the human element I’m interested in.
All my work is planned with an end image in mind.
Diane Arbus, (1923-1971) quoted ‘I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn’t photograph them’
Working in 1:1 scale, captures something that is usually not possible to see like a transient moment in time. I sometimes change the narrative by rotating the image 90 or 180 degrees defying the rules of gravity and the way we perceive a human figure. I mainly keep the images anchored into the present day by physically attaching the work to the ground or ceiling or corner of a space.
I am often in awe of women’s strengths in overcoming or living with pain emotionally and, or physically. Therefore I celebrate women and their remarkable resiliencies through my own particular practice.
