My images are simple yet complex. There is a chaotic feel to them and an almost surreal cast to them. My images have a blue tinge to them, which ‘pops’. I wanted contrast in my images, I wanted them to stand out and the blue helped do this. It gives them a chaotic and surreal feel. This blue tinge looks give the impress of a time gone by. It is reminiscent of a by-gone age. I live in Wales and this pilgrimage took part in Wales and there is a famous word here which sums this up perfectly for me. Hiraeth.
Hiraeth refers to a nostalgic feeling, a feeling of loss and longing. I feel this relates well to my work.
There is no real direct translation for Hiraeth. It is a very thought evoking word which is perfect for my work.
