Truro Graveyard.

I don’t normally like graveyard photos that much,I find them a little cliché. But this door was odd, leading to nowhere, and I liked the light.

Birnbeck Pier, Weston-Super-Mare.

The grade II listed pier has been closed since 1994, although it has been sold on a few times since then no progress has been made, so it sits decaying for now. I would have loved to actually get on it and explore, but taking photos from the shoreline had to suffice.

‘White desire, empty, a single stem,
a cluster, flower by flower,
a pious wish to whiteness gone over—
or nothing.’
- Queen Anne’s Lace, William Carlos Williams.

My end of year show for my final major project at college.
For this project we got to write our own brief and I decided to go with the theme of texture and lace carrying on experimenting from the self portraits Natures Lace and Lace and Lust I had recently done.
I wanted to take this project further and look into different ways of putting the texture onto the body, and these were my final images, I used an overhead projector with lace over to create the shadows on her body. These photos were shot on my Yashicamat using triX, self developed and then scanned, after printing i wanted to create a layering of texture and did this by adding accents of lace onto the photos.
For my exhibition I didnt want to have my photos mounted plainly on the wall, again I wanted to take my ideas with the lace further, and came up with the idea to hang my photos in front of the lace that I used to create these shots. I’m really pleased how this came out and i think creating the a 3D effect by having everything hanging added an extra element to my work creating an installation out of my photos.
I will upload some of the other work that i created for this project soon.
