Grassroots Girls

​

Exploring self image and attitudes to ageing through photography projects.
​

I have begun my exploration process by using an Instax Square instant camera to gather images and stories.  By asking the participants to write on the instant prints we were able to capture each story in a nutshell.  

Visit the 66 or 67 page to see images from this project.

Coming soon 2022/2023. 
A creative ageing project for the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing.  Addressing isolation, loneliness, economic difficulty and barriers to creativity.  How?  Talking, listening, reading, writing, painting, graphic design, photography washed down with tasty lunches and and a bowlful of fun and friendship.

We are all activists.  We are all artivists.

Photography & Me, The Early Years

Picture
I was brought up surrounded by photography.  My father worked as a freelance photographer and he had his darkroom in an old bathroom, downstairs in our home in Twickenham, Middlesex.  My earliest memories are of creating prints from leaves placed directly onto photographic paper underneath the enlarger.  I used to love watching my Dad and helping him develop and print black and white photographs.  As a special treat I was allowed to pass the pictures through the glazer to give them a gloss finish.  My Dad used to touch up photographs where a speck of dust would have created blemishes, using a fine paint brush and special black paint.  I want to go back to the simple days of photography where story, composition and lighting are key.  I will explore and refine these skills throughout this period of development and although I will be using a digital camera I intend to do little, if any, digital editing and use only available light.

TESTIMONIALS
​I had the pleasure of working with Mandi on a museum resilience project in 2021. I was impressed with her work as the lead creative practitioner. In my role as evaluator for the project I appreciated Mandi’s deeply thoughtful approach to deliver the best value for the client and the community it serves within the context of ever-changing COVID circumstances. Mandi was a dedicated and enthusiastic member of the project team who gave 120% and was hugely flexible when directions and deadlines needed to change. She is skilful at her many crafts, inspiring, generous and fun to work with.
Melinda Humphrey, Freelance Evaluator

Mandi is a Creative Practitioner who has both breadth and depth of skills and experience. Mandi's practice is developing and she is very interested in engaging with the community and heritage. She has recently worked on the 'Stay Curious' project at Ilfracombe Museum as artist-in-residence, responding to the Natural History Collection and producing activities and events with a family focus. Mandi never fails to surprise me with her ability to draw on a variety of practice - including photography, film-making, design, animation - and also her ability to respond to the project in hand to make it as successful as possible bringing her energy, ideas and enthusiasm.
