'Christmas at Dartmoor' is a derivation from a photograph taken at HMP Dartmoor, Britain's oldest and most remote prison, at Christmas 2019. It was taken by the progressive then-governor, after the residents had tried to decorate the wing with carts, grottoes etc, shortly before the Covid pandemic closed everything down. It depicts alternative representations of the men of E-wing, the prison's rehabilitative division, highlighting the 'divided self' nature of prison existence - the real person contrasted with the survivor mentality that state-run incarceration imposes.
