Reflection

Black and White Photographs, ink and chemicals on board

A series of fleeting intimate images of a solitary female form. The privacy and sanctuary of the bathroom with the door closed. Wrapped in the transparent layers of a shower curtain, the image becomes timeless. The unselfconsciousness of the figure lost for one fleeting moment when her eyes meet ours. I have purposely scratched and scoured surface of the overprinted and solarised photographs so they communicate the inner struggle to conquer imperfection and perfect our own image as women.
