Play

Continuing the exploration of childhood by using the narrative, the photographic series, to investigate the day-to-day reality of my family. This is one part of an ongoing exploration and of a much bigger installation.

Childhood Landscapes

I think, as adults, when we have own children we revisit much of our childhood. The memories of childhood are quite often remembered in little waves, half remembered, half embellished. We sometimes have incredibly strong remembrances of an emotion, of taste, of smells, of touch, of colour, scenes of holidays spent on beaches, of walks in forests, of make- believe worlds, of injustices, of places and people. I wanted to recreate that half remembered experience. That moment not quite all there, but never-the-less so fleetingly, so strongly remembered.
