2010 is a busy year, though not, thank goodness, as busy as last year... I worked hard for the April exhibition which was probably my last ‘big’ show, though I’ll continue putting pieces into group shows. I intend to take time out to do more writing (which I have sorely neglected of late), artists’ books and experiment with poetry films.

*FAMILY PHOTOS: RE-WORKED – A series of images using old and new photographs, old and new techniques, and which feature three generations of my mother’s family. Her grandfather was a master baker in Lee High Road eventually bankrupted by his sons. Her father was a butcher also in Lee High Road before enlisting. After four years in India, he was sent to the France where he was badly wounded a month before the end of the Great War. She was born in Catford and grew up in Bellingham’s ‘Homes for Heroes’ and remembers the bombing in the last war as she went to work as a telephonist for the inner cabinet.
How much do we know about the histories of the families we are born into? With each death, so much is lost. Family photos provide answers, but throw up questions. They hold keys, and they hide secrets. What is reality and what is myth in the various family stories that circulate, often modified depending on the teller’s viewpoint. Reproductions of original family prints, images created combining these with digital ones, and pinhole shots of ‘Pettifer’ addresses; poems and texts inspired by stories told and information gleaned.
