Where do you come from? He asked.
She queried, they wanted to know.
Me? From the jungle!
It’s so evocative, provocative.
(isn’t it?)
Dangerous, different…
Inciting. Exciting.
Vague. Vacuous…?
It’s a place, a space, a location that is what you want it to be.
Where am I from?
In February 2012 photographer Katherine Leedale focuses on portraiture and arts photography, working with both individual performers and with live arts venues across London. In her personal work she collaborates with artists working in a variety of media and has an interest in incorporating elements of collage, papercraft and text into her images.
This photographic essay by Katherine Leedale is a journey myself and performer Vera Chok took with a loom, around East London. It investigates the idea of carrying home and building identity in different spaces and locations, as part of the From The Jungle project.
Originally exhibited at Dalston gallery Maybe a Vole.
