Caroline is a London-based photographer and writer. She graduated with an MA in Photography from the London College of Communication, UAL and a BA in English Literature from QMC, University of London.
Caroline is driven by research-led self-initiated projects. She is interested in the interplay between images and words and the symbiotic relationship between photography and literature.
The project is her response to the discovery of an archive of 35mm slides taken by her late father in the 1960s. It depicts a beguiling series of beautiful women photographed in idyllic locations, mostly in Sweden.
“Confronted with their coy smiles, magnified and vibrant through the small viewer, Furneaux felt as if she were present for a part of her father’s life she never thought existed.And a version of him, too, that felt new and unfamiliar…. It’s a posthumous collaboration of sorts, weaving in Furneaux’s own memories of [her father] in accompanying text. She gives each woman a name (some found in a stash of letters; others entirely fictionalized), and crops into details of their portraits, presenting them like half-remembered moments” Jacqui Palumbo, CNN Style
Images from the project were previously exhibited at FORMAT International Photography Festival in 2019 and featured in the RPS Journal of Contemporary Photography.
Caroline has worked as an Associate Lecturer at The London College of Communication, UAL and a freelance commercial photographer for over twenty years.
