19th July to 25th July 2018

Unlimited Future started with photography, tracking fleeting moments, environments, textures and colours. As usual, using time constraints work to her advantage, she has compiled a series of photographs to suggest a narrative.  The work follows a young girl in a red dress, evoking mythical stories such as Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel. Along the route between one place and another, a trail of images is left behind to mark the way forward and perhaps the way back.
