The photographic self-portraits - re-presented by Amanda Dunsmore through twenty-one framed artworks - chart the journey and transition of Christine over a 12 year period.
These photographs were initially posted online and shared by Christine, some within a closed online forum through Flicker which has a membership of over 3000 people. This sharing of images through such forums is an important and empowering step for many making this journey, and tells the story of a person in an ongoing process of self – realisation.
The photographic self-portraits range in tone from the painful, to the playful, from the mundane to the contemplative to the joyful. Carefully categorised, they document a very personal story in a semi public way through the chats, comments, conversations they have prompted online. Some of these photographs, selected by Dunsmore, have been form a part of the Becoming Christine exhibition.
