A Hull to Hold the Waves at Bay
A Hull To Hold The Waves At Bay considers the subject of mental health and howwe manage it. It is a journey of self-exploration that contemplates our interaction withour surroundings and how we reduce the impact of our symptoms.
Inevitably my own experiences are intertwined amongst the stories of the subjects.The time spent making the photographs allows for conversation and informs a morecollaborative approach.
The series presents a culmination of the momentary calm, the warmth and thefleeting clarity afforded by these coping strategies juxtaposed with the difficulties andfrustrations encountered along the way.
