Reflection on practice

After taking lots of different photography series, looking at both organic plantation and organisms, I decided I needed to hone in on particular ideas as I am currently working on too much at once.

So far I have been working on different sizes of work, different mediums and digital editing - focusing on organic manipulation, seasonal/cycle transition and development of materials - but I want to work on particular series of photography, working with certain materials that I have experimented with and have found to be the most effective when acheiving the themes in my practice and also the most interesting.
I experimented with smaller prints to begin with and, although at first I saw these as experimentation ,I soon discovered them to be very intriging - if not more than the larger prints. Here are some examples of the pieces I have been working on, I intend to upload more images soon to document and help me organise my work and my thoughts.

I have used different materials and techniques on these pieces - glass paint, craft knives, needle and thread etc.
I plan to create more of these pieces and develop a collective series of manual edits - linking together both my 'Organic' photography series and my 'Organism' series.
