LA LA LAND
Raised in deepest Fife, Scotland, for two sunny years my family moved to a 70s to Los Angeles where I experienced school life in Santa Monica and the Hollywood Hills. Since then I have returned each decade, with first one child then two, and together we've revisited my childhood while I experience it all again through their eyes. It is very changed but still full of high contrast full colour inspiration.
SUPER POWER AGENCY
As classroom volunteer, trustee, photographer over the past decade, I am delighted to have spent so much time working with this remoarkable charity in Scotland, helping young people to write their story.
WINTERREISE
Franz Schubert's celebrated 1928 song cycle 'Winterreise' based on the poems of Wilhelm Müller published the previus year. This series of images was inspired by the titles and tone of the song cycle, and in learning more about photographer Liesl Beer, who was killed in the Holocaust aged 28. She was the younger sister of my grandmother Lene, and my middle name reflects her memory as does this series.
Informed by the cyclical, necessary melancholy of winter and of loss and change: both Schubert and Müller tragically died in their early 30s. The series stands also in gratitude for their work and for the annual promise of spring.
