‘as now is‘ was made over a five week period while taking part in an artist residency at the Matca Space for Photography in Hanoi, Vietnam. While there, I struggled to make a new piece of work and jumped between a number of different topics. Everything from migration, to a portraiture piece on a friend and her 6 year old daughter, to avoiding stereotypes and anything to do with the war. In the end, it kind of became a project about making a project, about looking for something but not necessarily finding it.
The text at the top is made up of different diary entries I made throughout my time there and combined with the photos, they touch on the different topics I wanted to, or didn’t want to, make a project about at some point, as well as the different things I was struggling with.
An overview of the photos can be found here.
