Will shortly be uploading photos from my final degree show as well as some of my other work from this project.

Helen Bradley paintings
Love Helen Bradley. Think her use of colour is beautiful and subtle and I love the traditional clothes in the paintings.
Flowers, flowers, flowers
Above are some of my earlier prints from the start of the project. They don't make it into the final show, but I still think they're lovely.
Chelsea Physic Garden
One of my favourite places in London to go and find peace and escape would have to by Chelsea Physic Garden. It is a true gem of a place - there is no other place like it.
I find it funny how it is right in the centre and yet it feels so quite you would never suspect you were in the middle of the city.
Above are my own photographs taken on my iphone using the app Hipstamatic.
Wait For Me
This is the title of my project. It stems from the idea of being lost in time.
Looking back on my childhood and how I was as a child. Being reminded of my thoughts, dreams and innocents. The extent of a child's imagination - living in their own special world.
Collecting, memory, emotion, escape, mysterious, comfort, nostalgia, longing for simpler times. Has historical qualities within the project but while also injecting a fresh, modern look.
The idea of innocence - not fully growing up. The world is moving at such a fast rate that sometimes one can feel left behind, over-whelmed or lost. The fear of losing ourselves, our heritage and traditions. A need to hold onto these comforts to remind us of our history and past.
A young child is very observant, taking in everything around them - embracing it.
They have time to: stop, stand & stare.
Quote:
'The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.' William Morris.
As a child I remember exploring and loving gardens, taking in nature in all its beauty. The peace, calm, soft, light, abundance, preciousness, quietness, freedom, escapism, belonging.
'Chinese Lanterns,' 1886 by John Singer Sargent.
This picture is one of my favourite paintings. This is what inspired the theme of the project and set the tone throughout.
