The understanding of illness and mortality are a particularly human ability. We can imagine in detail what may become of us. When told of a diagnosis of serious illness we are thrown into a dark space full of dread - our lives are no longer the same. We become separated from the people we were before and normal life seems an impossible state that we feel we will never experience again. I use a traditional form of 'camera obscura' (literally a dark room or chamber) using a small, round aperture ("pinhole") to bring light into the darkened space of my bedroom for capture by another camera. The photographs are all created in the camera and taken in a single long exposure and show the inverted image of the outside world and a portrayal of the inner world of the photographer herself.
