My earliest collection of filmic stills, Being a Girl (2001-2003) began as a coming of age project and reflection on the world around me, the horrors of September 11th and the introduction of the ladette culture and binge drinking. The media headlines were laced with fear of terror and undeniable depletion of freedoms on a personal and global scale. Being A Girl was an highly instinctive piece which at the time played the role of what it felt like to be a girl. The collection is a series of sixteen, C-type prints, 16” x 12” using a photogram technique with colour transparency 35mm film.
