…My brain has been full of questions interrogating my own feelings concerning my creative work and practice. My one plan for October was simply to ‘reflect’ but each question I asked myself produced more. Sentences, phrases, words and letters became so overwhelming that they melted from their structures into a dense fog which I could no longer see through.
Read MoreI got Covid again. During this time I’ve had an unintentional Social Media break. Yes I know, I was sleeping a lot so obviously, but I feel so much better for it. I’m still finding it difficult to find a balance but I feel a lot less pressure to be on there and am reconnecting with physicality. What better way to get back to the physical than a market?

I was adamant on being in the UK this year for another reason particularly. Me and my twins 30th Birthday.
Read MoreI’m am trying to get better at self promotion. In the moment when I have good news or my work is being exhibited, I think “fantastic! I will write post for Instagram/Facebook/Twitter!” I almost always forget to post over here on my actual website. And I need to get into the rhythm of collating information, news and sharing.

In other words, the experience of photographs be that making them, viewing them or the sensory experience. And this particular Series has been reflective of this. Not just the obvious sense of smell being aroused when composing the images, but before this. The cool air and rain on my skin when I hop outside to gather the thyme.
