Living Memory Finalist
Collaborating with my daughter Edie, this image is from Eight, a portrait series that started as a way of exploring shadows within our home differently during lockdown. Influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites and master painters' use of chiaroscuro, a moment is held for a brief period as we create a portrait together. No matter what is happening in the outside world, I know this time will be fleeting, and I want to inhale – in some way – her light. Her time of being eight.
