Rowan Lear
This Is What Creates Every Adventure
One morning a thin envelope containing several old black and white photographs dropped through my letterbox. In one, a girl and boy smile at the camera, the boy cheekily; the girl shyly. I recognise myself and my brother. The cat clutched in the girl’s arms was our cat Merry. The field in which they stand is close to one of my childhood homes. My father is just out of sight fixing a fence. Looking closely I realise that the girl is also my mother... Rowan Lear is developing a language with which to explore the relationships between photographs and people, and investigate photography as a means of recollecting, relocating and reconstructing memory and identity.
