In tandem with my print project, From Absorb to Zoom: An Alphabet of Actions in the Women's Art Library, I am inviting selected artists with documentation in the WAL archive to send me images of recent work to feature on this project blog.
Photographer Eileen Perrier's commissioned project, Peckham Square Studio, is on view at Peckham Platform through 16 November 2014. It features portraits of local people she photographed using a large format camera, in a mobile studio on Peckham Square in South London. In conjunction with the exhibition, Perrier also has worked with Year 10 students from Harris Academy Peckham in photography workshops.

Perrier describes herself and her work:
Eileen Perrier was born in London and comes from a cultural background of Ghanaian and Dominican descent. This has presented her with questions around identity, diversity and placement. Through personal work and commissioned projects Perrier has photographed different members of her family living in London and Ghana. Projects have also included sitters she has encountered through various strategies, such as their occupation, location or a physical trait.
