A site project taking inspiration from Blackpool Pier & beach. Using childhood memories and personal albums to create a series of works that reflect on a personal history and nostalgia.

I’ve been working with a series of film stills from the BBC documentary ‘Blackpool on Film’ and have incorporated stitch into the images by printing on to vilene and have hoped to add an element of intrigue and a darker subtext.
I’ve been experimenting with a number of alternative photography processes and like the translucency that is possible with transfers and printing on to different papers.
I have then combined these fragile images with cut out poetry that suggests a narrative and reflects on my own childhood memories.
