Late fragment

And did you get what you wanted from this life
even so? I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved,to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

Raymond Carver

Which objects will surround you in the final years of life? And what might they say about you ; about who you are, and who you were? What would you choose to take when moving from a house and home into just one room?

‘Late Fragment’ is a series of photographs taken in resident’s rooms in care homes. The project explores what residents keep with them, whether through necessity or comfort.

You can’t take your possessions with you, but some of them you take to the very end of the very end.

My practice uses both analogue and digital cameras. I enjoy working with medium format alongside digital technology. I also produce prints and books
