Zena Blackwell is a photographer based in London, England
Her favourite photographers/people are Cindy Sherman, Egon Schiele, Catherine Opie, Sarah Lucas, Kenny Everett, League of Gentlemen, Marlene Dumas
She sometimes uses her phone, "sometimes my old cannon EOS, and soon some sort of fancy digital camera when the money arrives in the bank"
Zena says "Photography, more often than not in its crudest form, has always formed an integral part of my art practice, whether this be using photos to build collages, paint over or draw from. I am going to use the Alphabet Project to take photography out of its normal context and hopefully into an autonomous body of work. Its a simple plan."
