Holding the Space, explores emotions resulting from being estranged from a loved one. Wearable objects are made, worn, ‘performed’ and documented to explore loss, shame and longing using self-portrait photography.
Cast Off explores the impact of estrangement on one’s sense of self through the unravelling and re-knitting of a balaclava.
