"Pictures can tell a story, create understanding, lift a heart and engage our emotions"
COVID PROJECT
EARTH : WATER : FIRE :: LIGHT
During the Covid pandemic I wanted a project that I could add images to as well as some new ideas on an ongoing basis. And, given that I needed to shield for 6 months, not to have to leave the house.
It started with vegetables grown in our organic garden - which need earth and water to grow. It developed with the addition of fire which is needed to cook. Then the challenge of using just one light to create an image that might be worth looking at twice. It’s a bit of an ongoing project. Keeps me busy.
