Brook-lynn is a Fine Art graduate (Michaelis school of Fine Art) and photographic practitioner, living and working in Cape Town, South Africa. Her work is often centred around colonial thought and archives; specifically, how its praxis could affect familial histories and identity-making in post-apartheid South Africa. Often, She finds herself working with opposing ideas, for example, absence vs presence, fiction vs truth and aural vs written archives. By working with conflicting ideas, She tries to not only create tension within the work, but to create uncertainty in the viewer and to help unveil endless possibilities to them. Storytelling is an important tool for her to disseminate critical thinking, particularly in relation to topics of race and identity. Post-apartheid identities are of particular interest to her as the stories she tells often help her make sense of her own political positioning in present-day South Africa.
