My practice considers the relationship between the struggle of having dyslexia in mainstream educational environments and how it is represented in imagery. 

My own experience of learning challenges is explored through this black and white photographic series using visual metaphor inspired by Still Life Baroque painting. 

I use inverted objects and materials relevant to conventional learning models, as well as a cameo of myself through mirrored reflections as I engage with them. My research has been inspired by the artist’s Philippe de Champaigne, Katherine Krieg, and Kevin Best. 

This work aims to visualise both the obstacles of learning and the unique creative potential that neurodiverse people often possess.
