Voices of Reflection is an on going project which began whilst Alison was studying for her Photography MA. The images deal with the personal memories triggered during her work as a volunteer counsellor with the telephone helpline, ChildLine. Originally produced in book format, the images and text provoke the viewer to empathise with the emotions represented in the work and allows them to reflect on their own experiences.
