A phantom lover #6 (Eidolon)2020
Artist statement: My work has for a long time explored mortality, female desire, isolation and loneliness within a personal lived experience. These explorations have been played out in domestic spaces, in the landscape and within suggested psychological realms, through an ambiguous kind of storytelling.
The motif of the window has appeared in my work for many years. I have used it variously to articulate a yearning for transcendental experience and transformation; the window acts as a kind of portal or liminal threshold between planes of existence; the glass, a hinge between the imaginary and the real. These thresholds, often veiled with curtains, allude to worlds hidden, mysterious and unseen; to theatrical play and to feminine display and concealment.

Also known as Giclee prints or bubble-jet prints, pigment ink-jet prints are generated by computer printers from digital or scanned files using dye-based or pigment-based inks. A series of nozzles spray tiny droplets of ink onto the paper surface in a precise pattern that corresponds to the digital image file. In dye-based prints the ink soaks into the paper, whereas in pigment-based prints the ink rests and dries on top of the paper surface.
Whilst the term is broad, pigment ink-jet prints have come to be associated with prints produced on fine art papers. They are the most versatile and archival method of printing available to photographers today. A wide variety of material on which an image can be printed with such inks are available, including various textures and finishes such as matte photo paper, watercolour paper, cotton canvas or pre-coated canvas.
