Betty Sargent

 
Betty keeps her camera with her all the time and photographs what she sees. Photography gives Betty a chance to show how the city changes, in case it is forgotten. Her new series of photographs is of shadows in puddles and of her own reflection. Recently, Betty has been taking photographs using mirrors to see what is behind her. Betty fills in parts of her photographs with coloured paper and coloured cotton to create something new.
