Hi Kirsteen.

It’s a great statement.  One tiny thing – wonder if there was a way you didn’t repeat the word ‘series’ so closely together – In my most recent work, The Missing Series, each image begins as a self portrait.  Something like that, just a thought.

I’m interested to see what the others say about the ‘not hiding’ part. To me it sounds like you’re saying others do (which maybe they do!).  I hope you don’t mind I did a little re-write below but of course it’s your work and your statement and that may not read well for you so hope you won’t be offended.

The combination of photography and digital manipulation offers a way to create a new image that is not captured via one shutter press. Manipulation is a strong and important feature of the work allowing me to break the rules and create impossible images that still appear somehow plausible. Elements that we inherently understand as necessary in our everyday visual reality, such as perspective and direction of light, are maintained to create a believable photograph.
