Difficult Conversations 1 Photograph

These are digital montages titled 'Difficult Conversations'. These C-prints, or "landscapes" as I call them attempt to recreate, reshape and - in the process - resolve conversations which had been impossible to have with words. The prints brought together moments and people that held immense value and items of a quotidian kind. In the center of a metal cooking pan, in one montage is positioned my mother, her back to the viewer, looking like a wanderer in a desert. In another my partner stands on a rolling expanse of skin (a magnified shot of their newborn daughter's forehead), diminutive and awestruck, a Lilliputian hurled into another world. In another image a tiny flock of birds fly across the top of some folds of cloth.
