    Just death is true
    Sylvester, D (various, 2006)
    In 'Just Death Is True' a young woman lies with a blue face pack on, cradling an old fashioned phone against one ear, the thickly applied mask revealing lines in the young woman’s skin.

    All You Need To Know You Knew Early
    Sylvester, D (Various, 2007)
    'All You Need To Know You Knew Early', is part aphorism and morality tale in a photograph of an interviewer, cameraman, subject and us as viewers. Illustrating that on camera one may adopt gestures while looking into a lens as a subject and proposes that the instant of capture is itself a performance. The camera serves as a silent choreographer, dictating movements.
