This month, the line is issuing a set of recycled pseudo-yarn knits cut and rewoven from unused tees.
JONATHAN CHERRY: What gets you up in the morning?
CORINNE PERRY: Thinking of all the university work and photos I need/want to do. I hate that feeling of being lazy and wasting a day, also tea and crumpets.
JC: Are there any emerging photographers inspiring you at the moment?
CP: I really like people who are using film and alternative processes such as Ellen Rogers her photographs are beautiful.
JC: What is your current project all about?
CP: It’s about how I feel about myself, with the photographs being like my own personal visual diary recording and expressing my emotions on a day to day basis. I’ve recently become interested in expressing emotion through my body language and I’ve made the conscious decision not to include my face as to be emerged within my own world and emotions. It’s something I’m currently working on and it includes a lot of blending in with my surroundings and taking images through dirty mirrors to cause distortion.
JC: What equipment are you currently using?
CP: I only shoot in film. My camera is a Canon A1 normally with black and white film. I use natural light but sometimes for more contrast and dramatic lighting I tend to use studio flash.
JC: What initially drew you to photography?
CP: I’ve always loved drawing and painting but then at college I started experimenting with a camera and found I was much better suited to this medium and could express something with more meaning and express more of an emotional depth through photography.
JC: What draws you to self-portraiture?
CP: I’m not very confident so have never wanted to work with models. I feel that only I can really portray exactly what I visualized for the image and as my work is so much about myself it’s something I need to be in.
JC: Favourite tree?
CP: Willow trees I’ve always liked them since I saw the film Pocahontas as a child with grandmother willow.
