You Must Never Leave This Place is an ongoing project that has developed out of a series of conversations over the last ten years. It is the outcome of a process of listening, looking and learning, over the last ten years.  Of collecting stories and taking photographs. 

The stories are of life experience and interests pursued with enthusiasm; of home, family, ancestors and local lore.  The photographs, taken in and around the family home, are an attempt to capture a sense of time and place. 

Fragments (of a life lived) was a temporary installation of an edited selection of photographs from the series created for the group exhibition Suspended, at House Gallery in London, in March 2010. Click on the thumbnails below to see larger images of the installation.
