  • 'When The Wind Blows' - When I first came back from New York after 9/11, the wind blowing was a very real fear. A fear of being trapped by falling trees or buildings. Last year I featured in Arthur Cary's documentary 'Surviving 9/11' which brought to the surface many anxieties, fears and vulnerabilities. This piece was important for me to make for the 20 year anniversary to reflect feelings that have stayed with me all this time.

  • 'When The Wind Blows' - This is again the same piece. This was an important piece for me to make in 2021 as so much was brought to the surface. I have often wondered how to express through my work the feeling of the loneliness of suffering from PTSD. When I took this photo, for me it completely encapsulated that very feeling.
