If she was a word she would be mischievous. The most incredible space she has ever photographed is an old cement work she got into. She hates the scream of the seagulls on her roof every morning and, maybe because of these, she loves the endless, light and full possibilities of silence.
Between Silence and White Walls is the name of the photographic series we show you today. “People talk a lot and there is excess noise all around us. I think we are over saturated with the media and there is a lot to be said for self discovery.”
“Silence, like these spaces I take pictures of, leave a gap where as an individual you can make up your mind and fill the silence or space yourself.” If you need a soundtrack while exploring her pictures, turn on the speakers and play “Four Minute Warning” by Radiohead.
She likes photographers like Lynne Cohen –as she find her work beautiful and unsettling– and John Baldessari –for his humour and freeness. She was sixteen when she took the first photo she was proud of. “It was a picture of a friend with an aim to make her look frightening. The black and white image looks like a still from a film noir of a femme fatal dead; I never tires of it.”
Now, she is a hunter of the image world –not a farmer–, so she has decided to go fishing with her camera, waiting for an image to catch. “I like the idea of setting some time aside to sit by the sea waiting for something to happen. This is sometimes when the best images occur as if out of nothing, something will evolve over time.”
“My project Photography and the Art of Fishing will be based loosely around Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I would like to add some text perhaps from real fisherman I meet, I have also started writing so this will be an ideal time while I sit and wait for a photograph.”
