No Rhyme Or Reason - Edition 2/5 (Published at ) Photograph

*** Published on at PhotoVogue on 9th Sept 2015 ***

An impressionistic dream-like photograph taken along a steep hillside pathway in Cheshire. Once finalised, the title sprung to mind immediately. Walks along this enchanting path were a source of comfort during a time when my father was receiving palliative care in hospital, following a severe stroke. When this scene was photographed I knew he only had days to live and, in fact, two days later he passed away. For me, the motif triggers thoughts of fairy tales and the associated themes of light vs darkness, fear vs hope, life vs death. The pathway leads to my parents’ house on the hilltop and the image is laced with elements of family, home, dreams and memories. I discovered from talking to others that they had experienced similar thoughts and feelings during bereavement – it had felt surreal, like a dream. A certain numbness pervades. There is no rhyme or reason for a loved one's passing – it is what it is. It just happens. And you carry on.
