About
In her most recent projects, Hatfield has been working conceptually, such as in The dove returned with a knife instead , to directly address the challenges and prejudice she faces as a trans person in the UK. It includes discussion about the discrimination faced, lack of access to healthcare, impact on mental health, and the politics that overwhelms transgender rights both in the UK and around the world.
Similar themes were addressed from a slightly different angle in documentary photography project Rough Surf / Soft Fabric, in which Hatfield shares images from an early stage in their social transition and explores her gender identity and how she communicates this throughout life.
Whereas, in Bigoted & Corrupt Hatfield takes much more direct aim at the then Conservative Government's negative impact on the state of transphobic hate in the UK.
