  • A transformation within oneself can coincide with the varying terrain. From wet to dry, summer to winter, day to night, urban to rural, moment to moment. Each snapshot opens a window in to another world that absorbs me along the way. This series of images is an ongoing project that started with me as a passenger on some irregular travel routes.

    ‘The sickness of long thinking’, was inspired by a theme featured in a book given to me in 2007 by my partner who read it on his return trip to France from his mother’s funeral. I finished the book on my journey from Africa to his unanticipated funeral two months following.

    The story is a book of journeys, disappearance, grief, the isolation of living in a remote town, winter partners and the sickness of long thinking. 

    If I allow my soul to listen carefully I can hear the land murmur tales of its own transformation through love and loss.

Visual memories reveal a backdrop to tales of distant journeys. Flashbacks surface when one's soul is intertwined with places that create a transformation within.
