Flesh and Blood, Bone and Tendon

Through photographing the home of my mother Irene, this project aims to present a portrait of her and explore how disability figures in her daily life. The project proposal draws on my personal experience of growing up with disability, not my own, but my mother’s (a polio sufferer). This project provides an opportunity for me to re-view and re-think the familiar, both the family home where I grew up and my mother’s disability.
