Down the Rabbit Hole
Down the Rabbit Hole is a biographical work presenting an experience of home and motherhood with post-natal depression. Curious as to how we all, in our family, experienced the same home differently, how spaces that interrupted me so negatively, provided contentment for our children. In my moments of grey they could see colour. Initially photographing all three children, I was eventually compelled more so, to photograph our daughter, the youngest at three years. She seemed to experience the greatest level contentment. I could have mourned the demise of my imagination and youth, but instead I became enveloped by the enquiry. She sometimes led her brothers with her to wherever she was going, and on occasion I can find myself there too.
