How do we keep memories alive?
Personal memory and loss are key concepts in this body of work.
In, Left Behind, I examine the way in which, through precious objects, we retain the memory of those who have passed away. By photographing my subjects, their family pictures, and their treasured possessions in their own homes, all the images are connected to a sense of place.
Exploring inherited objects, I assess their efficacy as memory triggers, helping us to remember family and friends who are no longer here. Acknowledging both the absence and the presence of those who are gone.
A virtual exhibition of this project is available on my website.
