Between the Walls, 2006

I have always had a passion for old houses, once family homes, now fallen into disrepair. I try to imagine the people who might have lived there over the generations when the house was alive. In this series of images I have used photos from generations of my family to people the environment. It is not their house, but it could have been. Will someone live in this house again? I have arranged the ghostly inhabitants of these rooms, by making composites of contemporary and historic photographs. By moving my family into the house they come alive for me again.
