| Introduction | Born in Rome of Italian parents who decided to emigrate to Malawi when I was very young,I completed my primary education in Malawi, my secondary in Zimbabwe and my tertiary in South Africa. My first degree was in French and History.I then went on to read Italian and English because I wanted to do a comparative literature degree. I have been a languages teacher for 37 years, in South Africa and in the UK. While teaching Italian, I took students in years 10 &and 12, on exchanges to Italy for 20 years. On those exchanges, we went into churches, museums & art galleries. Embarrassed at how little I knew about art, I took an A Level in the history of 20th century art, caught the bug and completed the MA degree course on 20th century history of art, architecture and design at Falmouth in 2004. My dissertation for my MA focused on the Gateshead Millennium Bridge and was on the politics of millennium iconic structures. It was while photographing the bridge that I developed a love of seeing different things in images.Why is there this fascination to capture a fragment of time/detail which is fuelling multi-million dollar industries connected with image-making? |
