‘And She Was’ is a portrait on canvas of a young woman with an apple. Using an old black and white photograph, I began to think about who this unknown was, in what era she had lived and how important her life had been. Depicting her against vertical stripes allowed me to place her in a new world, one where all that matters is the beauty of youth and the freshness of the apple in her hand. This piece is imbued with notions of the collective memory, the nostalgia of a bygone era and the idea that the past can be utilised to create something new and timeless, in an age where everything advances so fast.
