I did an interview with CNN style about my project Dans le Noir and the process and idea behind making the work as part of a new series of conversations between CNN Journalists and image makers around the World.  They created a video with snippets of the conversation, my images and video, Odette's spoken diary entry and some old archive from the D-Day landings.

Arts Narratives have featured a project I did a few years back, it looks at the impact GM cotton seeds are having on farmers in India.  It was interesting to reflect on this project post MA.

The London College of Communication (where I was luck enough to study my MA) has featured my project'L'amour lui-même doit s'endormir' (love itself shall slumber on).  It was a project I did on residency in Deauville in France and it was selected as the winner of the 'Planche(s) contact, Le Prix de la foundation Louis Roederer'

Sadly the editor decided to add quite a few of his own words in to final piece, I most certainly did not say I had a 'Eureka' moment, but anyway....

I won a prize and gained ten years, all very exciting!

I made a body of work on a residency in Deauville about a building which was used as an orphanage to house children who had lost their father's to the sea.  The building sits empty now and is being demolished in 2017 to be turned in to a cultural centre.  I photographed all the remaining bedrooms which felt particularly poignant, each one was different, different curtains, different wallpaper, yet they all had the same sadness to them, this was accompanied with prints I had made in the sea, using the water as a lens, in a way I was trying to represent the lives of the lost sailors.

In the run up to our MA final show, some of our work has been featured on the BBC in pictures, mine included!

'Laird's work is not only drawn from the land but is part of it. Her prints were created by the peat bogs and moorlands on the Isle of Lewis. By placing the photographic paper in the boggy water Laird has allowed the elements to permanently imprint themselves'.
