Notes
"My practice depends on risk and the dynamic that comes from working from life.
I am interested in the relationship between marks and likeness. By experimenting with how far I can push the image from the obvious and by rejecting the safety and repetition of a reliable method, I seek to find a new language for each new subject." — Lucy Stopford
