Sitting with Mother


This work stems from my mother’s initial diagnosis of Alzheimer’s six years ago, and followed the time spent going for walks, sitting on benches and visiting teashops along the way. The work began as a casual document of the walks, revisiting and re-seeing the town where I grew up, then developed into a body of work documenting my mother's journey through the disease.  The images becoming more intimate as her condition progresses, my mother’s world becoming smaller, spending more time at home.
