Artist Statement

Since 2013, after I fell ill with a still undiagnosed neurological disorder similar to Parkinson’s and was unable to write (I was a writer first and
foremost), I took to photography as a way to cope with every day. It soon became my diary to the world, to show them how I really am when no one is looking.
After seven years of these self portraits I have decided to turn the lens onto other women (and men) and their relationship with their body, which may or may not arise out of illness. Our relationship with our bodies, an ever changing body, is a very complex one.
