photo-eye has this to say about her work:
Using a hybrid of film and digital processes, Campbell-Jones has created a cultural and psychological document of the vanishing coal mining communities of Southern Wales in her series Stories from Underground. Calling her images “a fairy-tale reconstructed from an unbroken lineage of oral histories,” Campbell-Jones’s work is well-researched, taking into account historical legacy and modern global changes, but pushes further than basic documentation. These are complicated images — dense in their visual symbolism and deeply thoughtful.
