This image is based on my mother and the many different sides to her and to all mothers really, they are never simply mothers. Often as children we forget that, my fathers archive reminded me of all the other sides of her, the woman that loved fashion, reading, gardening, being a mother and many more sides to her.
I know you shouldn't have a favourite but if I was to have one it would be the Kazakh Eagle Hunters in Mongolia. Living in the cold harsh mountainous, they are by far the happiest, kindest people I have ever met.

entry description
This is one image from a series about grief and memory and what it looks like in my head. Both of my parents passed away, my father 12 years ago and my mother nearly one and a half years ago. When cleaning out my mothers house we found my fathers archive of negatives that were taken during my childhood and many before. He was an avid photographer and seeing these photos has helped me to remember some of the past which I have forgotten. My memories are fragmented and I can rarely keep hold of one memory with out it transforming into another. This series is what it looks like to me, my memories mixed with grief has changed them but they are all still there. Like these images, i just have to look harder to settle on one.This image is based on my mother and the many different sides to her and to all mothers really, they are never simply mothers. Often as children we forget that, my fathers archive reminded me of all the other sides of her, the woman that loved fashion, reading, gardening, being a mother and many more sides to her.
