Artwork description:

This piece is a triptych of images created 20 years apart. The image of the woman and the trees were both taken as part of a series with a plastic holga camera and transparency film in a field on a cold day in North Lincolnshire; the other comes from an old text book on dance steps found rummaging through a second-hand bookshop. When I shoot, I regularly find myself capturing somewhat random images that inspire me at the time, but have no real sense of context. That comes later when I layer together the different elements of a piece to create a narrative. In the moments that I capture the images it’s more like being a collector than a photographer. It’s in the post-photographic process that the story is told.
