Behind Closed Gates
Drawing on childhood experiences of living on a small holding in Oxfordshire, my project harbours a desire to re-educate the public as to the reality of the countryside. The excitement of growing up surrounded by far-reaching fields was gradually replaced by a growing awareness of a harsher reality. Rural England is changing and so too is societies attitudes towards it. British farming is suffering with the nationwide desire for cheaper, inadequate produce. In 1957 33% of household income was spent on food, compared to today's figure of just 15%. Crumbling support for British farmers has forced them to compromise animal welfare - curing sick animals is no longer cost effective. This is a loss not just for the farming industry, but for the culture of our nation.
