For the love of darkness..

"The physicality of entrapment, consumption, and childhood fear, encased within a womb of bricks and furniture."

This series of images are titled: '32'
Being the number of the house i was born and lived in for 22 years.
Also being the stage (in weeks) of pregnancy when the foetus starts to recognize sounds, and physically kick out at the womb.

Lets delve in to a pool so deep, it's hard to know when we shall return.
For my head is a very strange place to be...

Themes within my new works are as follows:

Female body, space, childhood fear, entrapment, consumption, violence, lost, fallen, hair, Japanese/korean ghosts, trauma, fantasy, imagination, disability, furniture, darkness...

A taster of the work =]

And breathe..

Well i have not produced anything blog related in such a long time,
but then life and time have been spinning into a whirl wind of creativity that has been pinned down and caged for my portfolio.
Our graduate show is going up in london in less that 2 weeks.
Which is going to be one hell of an adventure.

I need to update my online portfolio,
i am currently making my own photographic book - using blurb.
Which is very exciting, i can't wait to see my photographs all laid out saying what i want them to say.

We had a professional practice day yesterday,
and i spoke to the chief commissioner from the national portrait gallery,
She said that my portfoilio was beautiful, and well laid out.
Also that my work was very strong, conceptually and visually.
This put a nice smile on my face =]

Who knows, maybe i'll be ok.

Me and my lovely boyfriend will be moving into our house in about 5 weeks,
big step, but we are so excited.
I cannot wait to never have to not wake up with him,
or fall asleep without him <3

I will hopefully put something visual up soon,
but for now, i shall watch friends, and then cook dinner for robbie-pants <3

Thankyou for reading.
