Inner pages of the book

This book presents a comprehensive overview of Caroline Broadhead work. Confronting the boundaries of the individual, the interface of inside and outside, public and private, territory and personal space, presence and absence, and substance and image, Broadhead explores the outer extents of the body as seen through light, shadows, reflections and movement.
