Sam, in front of ‘A Boat called Freedom’, by Matilda (aged 7) Lighthouse Arts Centre, 2025.
The project at Lighthouse Arts Centre involved many writing workshops with community groups. These words were then woven through a willow framed boat by artist Heidi Steller.

I photographed the group of Young Writers, who wrote their poems and words in response to Freedom on my paper backdrop before we took the photographs. I then photographed at the launch of the boat, using some of the words that had been created during the workshops as a backdrop for portraits of the facilitators of the projects.
