For the Sake of Keeping
"...you are overtaken, say, by a sense that something has been irretrievably lost... so memory becomes tinged with the bittersweet sadness of nostalgia... we can do nothing but accept it has been lost forever". The project is concerned with memory, the act of remembering how things were, and how they have changed or stayed the same. Despite recent polls ranking Middlesbrough as the worst place to live in the UK, my memories of the area are somewhat different. I remember sugary cups of tea, drives past Roseberry Topping Hill and my Grandad's video box set of 'Sharpe'. Once or twice a year we would make the six-hour car journey from our home in Surrey to visit my Mother's relatives up North. Over the past few years these visits have become more important to me. The images and text in this project are comparable to a re-writing of the family album. I have tried to record the memories, commit them to paper. They are testament to what has passed, what has not changed and what may soon be lost forever.
