I have taken the subject of ‘suburbia’ and reflected on my father’s relationship with his family – father, mother and sister – all of whom have now passed away. I photographed his childhood home where his parents lived until they passed away. It remains in the state it was in when my grandfather died, untouched and full of the family’s collective memories. The suburban space is melancholic, from the overgrown garden to the dusty interior; everything sits in the house silent and still. I have overlaid images, combining family photographs and textures from around the house to present a layered quality to the images. The physical items and space is meshed with the life of a suburban family, touching on the value of the home and the memories held within.
