My book, Come and Find Me, won the Pre-press Open Category at the Australian Photobook Awards. The awards were held in Melbourne and formed part of Photo 22. This volume of images is from my onging series and was a deeply personal outpouring of trauma and grief. It was a difficult thing to share but I am so glad that I did even though I felt very vulnerable opening myself up in that way.
