This project, Feverfew, sits in the realm of documentary and auto
biographical photographic practice and invites the viewer into a
personal story about family relationships. My grandparents live up
on the north west coast of Scotland, 389 miles from my family and I,
who live in Shrewsbury. Their decision to move up there was made
when they were in their fifties and they have continued to live there
up into their eighties and beyond. The photographs were made in a
single, yearly trip, documenting their lives and surroundings.
The narrative slowly develops, giving away clues about each
character and their individual story. The project deals with themes
of isolation, distance and intergenerational relationships. The
landscape is an important feature in this work and acts as an
anchor for the project as well as a fourth character to the story.
