Louise’s (she/her) work reframes representation through a lesbian perspective, focusing on the often-overlooked lives of marginalised individuals- whether they’re from religious backgrounds, homophobic households, or are the minority in queer spaces. Inspired by the defiance of 80s/90s dyke culture, Louise photographs individuals often in their own homes, to authentically document their lives away from public scrutiny. The ‘Butch Revival’ founder lives with a life-shortening disease, Fanconi Anaemia, which is a rare, genetic disorder causing bone marrow failure in children and a predisposition to gynaecological, head and neck cancers, together with other complications both in childhood and in later life. Louise is an advocate for FA and member of the Fanconi Cancer Foundation.Living with Fanconi anaemia has profoundly shaped Louise’s approach to photography, influencing her perspective on lesbianism, intimacy, and survival. Louise’s work is an ongoing response to the times she was told she wouldn’t live to see adulthood.
