Discarded lives
Printed texts and photographs on waxed linen documenting the overlooked or forgotten stories and voices deemed unworthy of being heard by history’s selective process.
‘Name not ascertainable’
Projected poem using the occupations of the Stroud Workhouse ‘paupers’ as entered in the Death Registers
The End
Immersive installation with mud, earth and ash exploring differing ideas on what lies beyond death.
