When the project wrapped up at the end of 2021 I decided I couldn’t let go of this habit of savouring time, week by week, and I would continue by myself to pull together one photo roughly every 7 days that maybe summed up a moment I treasured, or where we were, or that I wanted to share.
With university visits making up part of our Christmas holidays, lessons in self sufficiency and development of life skills become part of your days. I’m glad we have time still, and it’s just part of the preparation process right now – we’ll get there, both of us, love you, Mama, xx This is part of ARTIFACT…
When you told us a few years you wanted to go to a school that would give you a good chance of going to university (after being adamant for a while that you wouldn’t want to go) we told you all we ever expected was for you to give your best to the opportunities life…
It is always an honour when you’re asked to teach on a subject you’re passionate about. So when I was approached by Click Photo School to ask if I could work on something on creativity I took a deep breath and said YES! Why the deep breath? Because creativity is something so deeply ingrained in…

I received this Press Release this week: “Now in its fourth year, the Portrait of Humanity recognises remarkable portraits that capture the moments that make us what we are. Today, we are proud to announce the 200 shortlisted photographs of Portrait of Humanity Volume 4. A striking mix of the contemporary and the timeless is…
April is Autism Awareness Month. I’m aware that autism can make the outside seem muted, yet there is a luminous glow ignited from within. I’m aware that autism can be very strikingly black and white sometimes, yet other times all the colours shine. I’m aware that there are many layers to autism, but their depth…
Where does your heart beat loudest in telling the stories of your family? For me, it’s in the little moments. The quiet touch, or reassuring look, the eyes closed soaking it in, the stroke of the hair, the squish of the hug. The bits that make you, you. I made this video for a class…
We really aren’t used to winters, we tropical girls. We’re used to the sun on our faces, sprinkles of freckles on our shoulders and feeling the earth beneath our bare feet. And at most maybe adding a bobble hat if we go to the mountains, or a hoodie against the chill. On December trips for…
Yet again I’m grateful to the most wonderful set of ladies who’ve helped to keep me accountable and in the frame of my family memories over the last year, just as they did through 2020. It’s so difficult as “the photographer” of the family sometimes. Photographing actually forces me to slow down and savour moments….
A feeling of “Here we go again”… continued life in limbo… This is part of ARTIFACT MOTHERHOOD – a project shared with other female artists who are documenting our journeys as mothers and creating memories for our children through our photographs and words. Our seasons are short snippets in the midst of real life where we pause…
Well here we are, at the end of another strange year, and at the end of another year of the Wish You Were Here project – our 8th and final year. It’s been a beautiful conversation of images with some incredible artists, week in, week out, through travels and adventures, and so much more. Global…
Here we are again girls, back in Delhi. We’ve been here since August and so much feels the same, but so much feels different. The first month was spent sitting at these same windows, the ones we watched the second wave rampage across the city through. We were held indoors again, but this time not…
Floating, drifting, at sea. Untethered, but together. Facing each wave as it comes. Gasping, then breathing through. Metaphors in photos of a life, in limbo. This is part of ARTIFACT MOTHERHOOD – a project shared with other female artists who are documenting our journeys as mothers and creating memories for our children through our photographs and words….
