The Dyslexia Portrait - Representing the multiplicity of dyslexic experiences through a visual medium.
As part of the Square Peg project with Hull City of Culture 2017, people across the UK were interviewed about their experiences of dyslexia. These experiences were transformed into a photographic image, presented side by side with a more traditional photographic portrait, also shot by Kate.
These stories, the images that Kate created of their experience, the audio soundtrack (bottom of page) and the portraits formed the main body of the Hull City of Culture 2017 exhibition at the Brynor Jones Library at the University of Hull.

Caitlin is proud of her dyslexia, she believes it gives her strengths, creativity and insight, and she feels as though her dyslexic mind will prove invaluable in her chosen career.
