Scanning my etching plates onto the computer and layering them on top of old photos through photoshop.
Natural Physical Decay
At the moment I'm really interested in how physical, natural decay mirrors the cognitive, mental decay caused by Alzheimers disease so I plan to focus on this part of my project for the next few weeks.
Natural decay, in particular rusting and lichen and moss growing, is seen throughout the world and indicative of change and ageing over time. I began photographing landscapes where personal family memories had taken place and recorded how nature and decay had affected and changed them throughout the years.

Fourth Year - 'Transience'
‘Transience’ -
exploring the transient
nature of life
through the prism
of memory and
examining how memory
is continually refracted
through the course
of a person’s
life until decay
takes hold, informed
by a personal
experience of Alzheimer’s
disease in families and examining how
the natural, physical decay
of a landscape
can mirror the
degenerative, cognitive decay
of memory and,
by extension, a
person’s identity. Themes -
memory, identity, ageing, disease,
isolation, loss, decay
and the constant flux
of life.
