Projects/Portfolios

After / 2017

Introduction

after a long struggle with mental illness

we lost our dear son joe

on 10th december 2016

aged 16

when he took his own life

these photos are from the out hebrides

in memory of the happy times he spent there

they were taken over a single day

shortly after he died

while thinking of him

and wailing in the rain

Memorial / 2016

Introduction

I’ve been fortunate enough to film burial ceremonies around the world. Including celestial burials in Tibet and Mongolia, fire burials in Bali, ritual finger amputation in Papua New Guinea, and the ceremony of Famadihana in Madagascar where the dead are exhumed, rewrapped in fresh cloth and then danced around the grave before being reburied. So a walk in my local overgrown and generally ignored Victorian cemetery, full of plastic flowers, got me thinking about our attitude to death and memorials.

These are multiple exposure photographs of flowers left in one graveyard, digitally displaced using audio samples from Fauré's Requiem Opus 48.
