Posting this as a thank you to the people who helped me along the way and have shown me so much kindness. Deeply grateful. Ye know who ye are :-)

 

This statement accompanied my successful AIPF Panel above.

"I love flowers. Always have.

 

Some of my earliest memories as a young child are in my parent’s garden, surrounded by flowers. In this playground, I spent countless hours investigating their wonders. Their colour, their texture, their scent and on occasion, their taste!

 

Watching my little niece in the same garden many years later engrossed in the same study, holding a small flower up to her face, cross-eyed from the effort of focusing on its tiny features, provided me with the inspiration for the images you see before you today.

 

As a photographer, I watch and wait, choosing natural light and a very shallow depth of field to isolate and focus on miniature details, but it’s the cross-eyed child in me, lost in the moment, curious in this world, who created these photographs."
