This series of images have been taken from a much wider body of work, which sits firmly within the field of the ‘familial gaze’. These photographs are fleeting, and they are snatched. They are moments of a much more condensed picture of family life that depict a condition. This condition is personal, but is by no means exclusive within the context of a modern age that we are all apart of.
The images attempt to address issues of distance, time and space, just as much as they try to represent a state of being, of fatherhood, and also, how photography does not always tell the truth. Photography is most definitely a conduit that can perpetuate myths of how life is being lived, but not, necessarily, how life actually is.
This is a piece of work that has quite literally made itself. And it attempts to show a reality, and not a modern digital utopia of life as we think we ‘facebook’ know it.
