Preschool Pocket Treasures is a photographic archive of the tiny magical objects found stuffed in the pockets of my son after each day at preschool. I have always been drawn to photography’s capacity to suspend moments of transition and change. These occasions are often overlooked or forgotten, left only to be sensed when a memory is triggered.

This project was born out of a desire to capture the magical moments of his boyhood and his development as he transitions from a toddler into a little boy; creating a visual journal of this chapter.

I photographed the objects on our kitchen table at the end of each day.

Back in year 4, A boy brang a scorpion into school. We sat down and he pulled it out of his pocket and placed it in his hand. It actually ran away and somehow it ended up ON THE TEACHERS DESK and the boy who brang it in couldn't keep an eye on it but my teacher was in hysterics and threw it in the bin!!!

I love how these pocket collections can have a theme going, like they were really fascinated with a certain colour that day.
