I created these images one Sunday morning for the PhotoAccess members "In for life" exhibition. PhotoAccess is celebrating it's 25th anniversary. I used to work there as the workshop manager overseeing the darkrooms , community access, course program and teaching. I have many wonderful memories of this time. The image of the bird in the sand is called "Together" and is a metaphor for life: you can hurry along only seeing your destination and miss so much or slow down, be in your body, experience and enjoy the now. I had the luxery of meandering along the beach, feeling the sand between my toes,the breeze on my face and smelling the ocean. I saw and photographed a piece of seaweed in the shape of a bird and then a feather floating in the ocean. These form 'Together'... bird/feather....sand/sea...here/now.
