Consolidate

Steven has suggested I use the class to consolidate and curate my work, which would be incredibly productive. The photographs and prints I have created this year are interesting although as a body of work, feels disjointed, which is understanding and very reflective of my mental health. I am grateful for Steven’s input and look forward to seeing where this development leads.
