Goodnight God Bless.

Good Night God Bless, was a phrase often heard in hushed tones. It is these four words, that resonate memories of my beloved Grandfather. Many years after his death his words came to me when I was sleeping, this moment, joint with the birth of the first male in our family for four generations were the catalyst that I needed to inspire me to begin this body of work. Goodnight God Bless is an ongoing body of work which surrounds the themes of religion, motherhood, grief and gender. The project tells the story of how the majority of the men in my family have passed away, and how my cousin has just recently given birth to the first male baby in four generations. I was brought up by a very strong matriarchal family myself, so this project sets to document how my family are now bringing up this new little boy in the very same way.
