Layers of The Kaleidoscope Qween

A Qween is fierce, bold and fabulous. You know a Qween when you see one. A Kaleidoscope Qween has the same foundations but is in a state of flux. They transform via colours, textures and layers. The mind tries to categorise them, box them, hold them, but it can’t – they are transcendent. Through experimenting with film, textures, paints, mixed-media and characters, Layers of a Kaleidoscopic Qween captures the essence of every Qween who has refused to conform. This 242 page book is a photographer’s creative journey with her muse spanning over 15 years.
