Imagined Memories

My work explores the link between memory and imagination in the traditional family photograph, and the vital role that photography has in establishing this relationship. More specifically, the way that memories from our childhoods can be informed by the influence of time. What we remember now, may simply be an imagination, rather than truth...

IRIS is representative of disability and my personal struggles of living in a world that perceives us differently. It symbolises the dichotomy of perception and vision; mind and body.
