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.

I use to have loads of fake gems stuffed in my pockets to trade with other kids :PPP
Once someone in my class brang in a REAL SCORPION! It was not even like, bring in a pet day!? We don't have that.
I love how these pocket collections can have a theme going, like they were really fascinated with a certain colour that day.
oh the applesauce top...i find those all the time in my girls pockets...and of course mine too :-)
"Er, yes, Mr....Pennywise? Yes, we need you to come pick up your son..."
reminded of the scene in Amelie where she comes across mementos of a boy.
you keep some of those in a shoebox for when they are old to be flabbergasted.
