This piece was a direct result of research that I did into peoples reaction to women who wear the full burka and hijab. The labels were filled in by members of the public who were asked to write a word, or some words describing a thought or a reaction towards this outfit. This all took place in Canterbury where until very recently the full burka has been rarely seen. The writings on the labels will form part of a future work.

I chose this photograph because it could be anywhere. There is nothing to identify it with Canterbury unless you know that spot. I think that the ambiguity goes well with the burka.
