This Is A True Story (Prairie) Print

I was reading historic accounts of early settlers and pioneers and it struck me how vulnerable these folks were. Not only during their long and hazardous journeys but also when they arrived at the place they would make home. Often alone in the vast landscape, no one for miles around. I would imagine then, as now, society had many of the same problems and ills, and families would be no different. Who could a wife or child have turned to should they needed help. The pressures on the families must have been immense, yet when one looks at historic photographs, the families depicted always appear so together and happy. Could it always have been so? I did a whole series of works based on this idea, substituting the imagined malevolent parent for a more supernatural, unseen threat. During lockdown I also made a number of prairie town buildings from found wood and vintage/antique items, which I have recently used as props for a new series of photographic works; Some Signs Of Poltergeist Activity.
