The main thing I noticed with Golding's work is that her work as a whole is very voyeuristic in theme and undertone. However, there seems to be an intimate feeling to each work and not the perversion and distance normally associated with voyeurism. I think this is derived from the closeness of her community and the way her life is intertwined with her subjects.
Psychologically, much can be said about the relationship between the suicide of her sister and her need to document (through photography) the important people in her life. There is the obvious carthartic affect after this very traumatic experience. Furthermore, the photographs can just simply be her way to document memories as her life progresses.
