I am a technician and former darkroom printer living in the UK. I am diagnosed bi-polar and from this position my photographic practice is concerned with the therapy that photography can provide.
Family Seat project:
My parents-in-law passed away during the pandemic lockdowns leaving their former council house in Brighton. A home that had been in the family since before the War. A home of warmth and colour shaped by decades of make do and mend, jobs kept in-house. It saw the raising of five children, a time capsule of memories which brought us to tears when it had to be cleared; it was our place of security and sanctuary. The home will probably be gutted, and that’s where we feel it. Black and white images strip a colourful home bare and they are shown in my book together with a colour record of the exit from our family seat. In addition poems included in the book are dedicated to the memory of my parents-in-law.
