Childhood Nostalgia

Spending time with family. Imprinting moments. Experiencing life through my son's lens and being open to experiencing a new kind of nostalgia.

This body of work is about childhood nostalgia. Since having my first child during covid, I been contemplating my own upbringing. Dissecting it, thinking about the strong memories that remain so vivid in my mind today, the kind of memories that shape you and create identity. That bind you to a place, a time, a moment or even a smell. How can I create positive moments and memories and pass them onto my own child? Who do I want around him to shape and mould his impressionable mind? I look forward to continuing this series. Being open to experiencing a new kind of nostalgia. As he grows and finds his own autonomy, I hope to take more of a back seat approach and live vicariously through him. But until then I will try to imprint on him the things I loved whilst growing up. He'll be climbing trees, exploring rock pools, chasing rainbows, hiding under bridges, connecting and nurturing the relationships with his family, animals and the land.
