Keeping Up Appearances - A challenging photography project exploring the role of appearance in the lives of people living with Dementia/Alzheimers
April 17, 2015For nearly a year I have been trying to get this project off the ground and I will be the first to admit that this has been an uphill struggle from the start .
What am I trying to achieve ? Why am I trying to achieve something ? How do I approach my subject ? How can I get participants to come on board with my project - especially on a topic that can be quite sensitive and personal as I know from my own experience. So many questions receiving very few answers .
I had so many ideas going through my head . But I was on the path of chaos theory hoping that in the end it will all fall into place and make sense .
But no - I still had a blank canvas ..
Until a couple of weeks ago I had a breakthrough when I went to visit my mother .
My dear mother always the willing model for my photos !
The chaos theory turned into a simple theory within 24 hours .
So this weekend I have finally managed to put my idea to paper and shortly be sending off my project proposal to potential participants .
Thanks mum !
