Source provides wider industry exposure of graduate work. My Falmouth University MA Photography project ”Past-Present a mythology of time” is being submitted.
My submission is made in the STAGED/CONSTRUCTED category.
Commemorative work Past Present ends a century of silence held in sadness for ancestors who were repeatedly wounded in battle, and were never to return home from war. In this work, present day images of healing are transformed into visualisations of place. Human connection is amplified as memory is created from a biology shared. As art inspired by cutting edge science, work has been made for individuals bound by the mother line gene. Bonds that were missing, now begin to form. Pictures shown are a selection from an artist’s book, that also includes poetry and prose with these and vernacular images from a family’s past. The book was originally created as part of a Falmouth Flexible MA Photography programme.
The digital version of the artist’s book is located at https://issuu.com/turnerphotoart/docs/past-present_a_mythology_of_time_a4_book_200428
Eight images submitted.

Congratulations on your submission to the SOURCE Graduate Show! I’m sure your work will be well-received by the judges.
I took a look at the digital version of your artist’s book, and I was really impressed by the work. The photographs are beautiful and thought-provoking, and the poetry and prose add a layer of depth and meaning to the work. I especially enjoyed the way you used the family’s vernacular images to create a sense of place and history.
I think your work is a powerful and moving tribute to your ancestors. It is a reminder of the sacrifices that they made, and it is a celebration of the human spirit. I hope that your work will be seen by many people, and that it will inspire others to learn more about the history of war and the power of healing.
I wish you all the best in the SOURCE Graduate Show!
