Sunnyhurst
Collaborative project with writer and playwrite. |
|
In 1969 my parents made a momentous move both geographically and emotionally they bought a bungalow........After my fathers death my mother became increasingly emotionally and physically dependent on me........She was eventually diagnosed officially with Alzheimers and a ten year slow journey into the loss of nearly everything that made her who she was began. She and my father had always hated change so the house had remained in a strange 1970 time warp. She nested in that house, feathering it which objects that took her fancy, that signified something........The above provides the context for the collaboration with the photographer and writer Martin Figura. Seven days after my mothers death I asked him to take photographs of my mothers house. It was the beginning of a project that attempts to search for meaning through place and object.
