It’s been 21 years since I was last both model and photographer on a magazine cover.

Sure, since 2005 there have been other covers, but as photographer only. This one takes me right back to my days as a photojournalist at Getaway magazine, when, if we needed a person in a photograph, we very often had to set the self-timer and shoot ourselves.

All these years later, I’ve ended up on the other side of my own camera again, although for different reasons – and with a very different intent.

This issue of Women United Art Magazine is particularly special because the cover was never a given. I was selected to be featured in the magazine, and finding out that Inside Is A Woman had also been chosen for the front cover was a wonderful surprise.

It was a real treat working with Mona and her team Women United ART MAGAZINE on the issue, which also includes a four-page feature on my work and Portrait in Yellow on the back cover.

Courthouse Gallery & Studios summer exhibition kicked off last night in a gorgeous part of Ireland in Ennistymon, Clare. Swipe to see photos of the event and "Inside Is A Woman".

The work very broadly considers female identity and lived embodiment. You can read more about it and the exhibition in latest news - link in bio.

The exhibition runs from 19th June to 12 August and is well worth a visit.

I wasn't able to make it to the opening of the Summer Show at last night, but I did engineer an opportunity to get a version of the classic "artist posing with artwork on wall" photo at home before "Portrait in Yellow" left for Birmingham. I hope you like it 😏💛

Judging from photographs of the galleries at RBSA, it looks to be a beautifully hung exhibition across all three floors. So well done to everyone involved, and especially thanks to the lovely Daisy, who has been coordinating everything with us artists in the background.

“Portrait in Yellow” is in Birmingham for Royal Birmingham Society of Artists' Summer Show.

Challenging conventional ideas of portrait photography, the work asks what truly defines identity. Using body language, colour and rhythm to evoke a sense of the individual, it aligns with the “faceless” portraits in contemporary figurative art.

The irony doesn’t escape me: that she is being posted on social media, a platform that is becoming so intertwined in our sense of self that the virtual identity is taking over. The selfie, with its repetitive gestures, forms, framing and filters is homogenising our individuality, creating shallow, static reductions of identity.

Even though she is a self-portrait, "Portrait In Yellow" is a liminal body in movement, intended to evade definition and capture.
