London
The London images were inspired by the brilliant, intense colours of the stained-glass windows at the Palace of Westminster. Their structure informed the composition. The Victorian Gothic architecture, art, and signs painted by the summer light seeping through it created an exciting, joyful feeling. I wanted to capture that character of light and playfully create new signs and associations.
Several people have kindly assisted me in collecting the data for the series, but I am especially grateful to Malcolm Hay, the Curator of Works of Art at the Palace of Westminster.

“In this dreamlike series of beautiful images, she captures the ancient soul of London, woven from cabals and whispers, fates and futures sealed with the nod of a head, power and intrigue, the new being born in the fires of struggle and change.
The “London Series” celebrates the spirit of London, England: A hopeful look to the future, richly imbued with a colourful past.”
