Christine Cornish has a unique photographic identity and personal vision, creating work that is haunting in its simplicity and impact. The worlds and moods that she evokes are philosophical and profound, yet emerge from the most basic of building blocks. Blending photography with painting, drawing and collage, her refined and quiet images challenge us to consider the links between perception, knowledge and memory.
