Heather Casey has been spending her time creating books inspired by portraiture and literature.
Her set of books are filled with self portraits that have all been marked and ‘dirtied’ using print. The printing process the photos undergo is uncontrolled, giving power to chance and highlighting the turbulent nature of life.
Each book title has been inspired by a simple word or phrase from literature that Heather feels ‘speaks volumes’. The ambiguity of a word placed out of the context of its sentence, works well with the manipulation of the images; both mediums have been distorted and are unclear.
Through this experimentation Heather has been able to explore the ideas of readability as well as looking at the relationship between text and image.
