Can’t wait to have a look at this book at the private view on TuesdayHello. This is slightly off topic for this blog. But I have just finished my first book of photos and got my copies last night. It’s called “Roots: 7 Days” and is a series of 28 photos taken in a seven day stretch in the US, where I’m from, in February. I’m about to say the most I’ve said about it ever publicly…
There is very little context provided in the book itself apart from the photos. The theme is a journey and going back in time and my history, but also seeing it through the eyes of my son. It’s kind of bleak and heavy, but also offers glimpses of hope, humour and survival.
I made the book with a lot of involvement from Megan Turner-Jones, Kevin Mason of Create and Kate Benjamin.
“Roots: 7 Days” can be viewed at the 21a Brunswick Square Artists Open House along with the work of 10 other amazing artists starting today and on each weekend through the Brighton Festival.
