A Thin Sheet of Glass

These images track the journey of my heroine, Jane, 1914 - 1954, as she fights for social justice and battles her internal demons while the world around her collapses. 'A Thin Sheet of Glass' is set in the changing world of an emerging middle class, the rise of fascism, resistance and refugees and explores the harrowing treatment of mental illness in the 1940's.
