Last Night We Had The Same Dream

How can a photograph describe the passage of time? Last night we had the same dream, that the tree was missing has become an allegory for my history. I have been photographing the tree for many years; it is a constant a visual poem for the passing of time and for loss. Approaching the space and witnessing its disappearance has a profound effect on my image making. It is now a stage to revisit lost family, bringing with it memories of childhood, of relationships and friendships. Through intervention, using archive family images collaged together I bear witness to the ticking clock and use the space to bring magic and mythology to the ghosts that inhabit it. My work is an exploration of the human condition creating landscapes of emotions, I reach back, bringing to life memories as memento mori.
