Yvonne says of her work: "My 'Dance' series was inspired by a fascination with the 3 key elements of movement, light and colour. The subject matter provides rich quantities of all three, and allows an interplay between them.

As the series evolved, movement has become the single most important element - specifically its expressive and communicative qualities. The body in motion is expressed as a transformation from one shape to another, one position in space to another. Physical and emotional energy is captured in a visible form through the tracing of movement across the film, over time. Light and colour take supporting roles, completing the narrative with cognitive ideas of mood and emotion.

My aim is not to produce accurately descriptive, freeze frame photography, but to create evocative and poetically engaging images. I want to capture the essence of dance and to transcend the specific physical subject matter to create an emotionally stimulating visualisation of motion."

Italian born Yvonne graduated in the summer of 2004 from Central St Martins with a PG Cert in photography. Since her degree show she has taken part in several exhibitions in London. Yvonne will be showing for the first time with twist in February as part of the 'go figure' exhibition.
