Description
Connection and Representation
Margaret will discuss her recent body of work ‘An Ordinary Eden’ which premiered in a solo exhibition at Street Level Photoworks, Glasgow and contemplates the universal need to belong, lay roots, and be connected to people and place. Carried out over four years, the project considered issues around housing, home and belonging, reflecting on the experiences of the individuals and how society responds. Within this, Margaret will discuss the questions on care, compassion and dignity which arose.
Margaret will also give an overview of, and motivations within, her general work over the past 30 years including her recently finished ‘As The Day Closes’ which gives insight into stories of individuals diagnosed with a terminal illness.
