Khamillah copied a small section. She went through the same process as the artist. I am pleased she had the confidence to leave it incomplete. This small section, which took a long time, shows that she understands the process the artist has been through.

Next Khamillah wanted to make her project personal. She extensively photographed both her sister and her dog to create images the she could ‘Transform’ using Matthew Cusicks process.
