About the Book
This project is my personal account on loss and grief. After the sudden loss of my mum last July (2016) I intended to focus all my feelings and experiences and create a body of work that contextualizes the presence still left behind by my mum. The emotional aspect of this project was to be an obstacle in my path but focusing on my feelings has assisted me on searching for the positives within a most negative situation.
I researched other practitioners and how they use their experiences to enhance their creative output; this research will sit alongside primary research also obtained on how loss and grief has affected a wide range of people. My images are personal to me but my objective is that all viewers take something almost cathartic away with them. The images were produced in black and white as I am not quite ready myself to bring colour into them, I myself, am still very much in the early stages of grief and feel this is more appropriate and factual within the confines of my project.
All the information combined provides an overview on how grief and loss is personal to each of us as individuals. How we deal with these feelings and how it affects us is personal too. My aim with this project is also to assist anyone going through loss or experiencing grief or anyone who is to experience this in the future.
