How big can we go
In a recent project at St Ives Library we were exploring our passion for the sea and I set myself the challenge of going large.
Portraits of young people by young people
For The Active Looking Project we used mood cards to prompt the design of a mask and discussions about wellbeing. Once again a mix of digital and making skills has proved interesting and popular.
Acting like animals
Giving young people the opportunity to wear a mask has developed their confidence with seeing themselves and each other behind and in front of the lens. Originally I was exploring how we might blank out a models features and or break down emotions as in ancient theatre. I am inspired to engage in more costume making/disguises in the future.

True tales from a Cornish Kitchen
My first series of digital cyanotypes – pasty wrapper, ketchup splash, washing up and after dinner speeches. Using my diary of smartphone images I have selected a series of images with a theme and worked through the processes of photography using a hybrid of digital and wet processes.
