About the artwork

After my mum and dad died, I received a box of slides. When I looked at them it was immediately obvious that my mum had taken these. This might not mean a lot to most people, but my mum was disabled after I was under 4 years old and she had taken these slides of my in the woods. Strangely enough she had taken some of them of me on the roots of trees that I had photographed as well. I put all the slides in order and started following her footsteps through these slides, estimating where she might have gone and this became a project that has this strange coincidence of photographing rooted trees whilst tracing her footsteps and my roots. I hiked enormous distances, not always knowing precisely where she might have been, but sometimes the slide before and the one after provided me with clues. I am still working on this and I enjoy this enormously. Just knowing that these trees are witnesses of my mum walking by with me as a 2 year old is quite special. This is how this image came about on one of my long walks to trace her footsteps. These wonderful trees with their roots exposed on a loam clay slope.
