Caroline Fraser- Notes from a Creative Journey:
In this talk Caroline will describe how life journeys can feed creativity. Her own journey in photography began in 2004 after treatment for breast cancer. A change in outlook freed her to pursue a creative practice that has taken her around the world, exploring multiple exposure and abstract landscape photography and delving into the world of limited edition book making.
As an outdoor photographer she makes images while out walking, whether abroad or in her local woods in suburbia. The resulting works express a very personal view of the world that she encounters. From moody black and white images to vibrant multiple exposure images, she describes photographic projects that have arisen from her journey, how we don’t need to go far from home to make images with meaning, and how her love for book making has evolved along the way.
