Autumn - Missing Series

Often a single image has the power to make sense of something words cannot portray, it can speak many languages and whisper secrets.  An image can express so much; a feeling, an emotion, perhaps a whole story.

 

Trained as a psychologist the need to communicate with words was essential. But sometimes the right words could be difficult to find. Often frustrated and unable to find the right language Kirsteen began exploring how images could communicate complex ideas.

 

Through the use of digital photography and advanced editing techniques Kirsteen creates award winning contemporary art that is recognisably photography, remains believable, yet cannot be real. These techniques share stories, depict emotions, and express something deep within that cannot always be put into words.

Autumn - Inspired by the multiple meanings of the word Autumn. A stunning season here in the UK as well as a word with much symbolic meaning – the end of an era, new beginnings, letting go, the passing of time…
