Latest issue
Bonds: Israa Alrrayah and her family escaped from the war in Sudan. She writes about the meaning of family photographs for people who have lost them. Objects can be charged with the presence of absent loved ones. Morwenna Kearsely writes about photographs of these objects and how these inanimate portraits can capture the connections between people.
PORTFOLIOS: two works, Visible Repairs and Virgins on the Cross by Ada Marino are about family history and the romantic myths of motherhood. Alan Wilkinson’s work Gus charts his evolving relationship with his son and his son's relationships with his peers. Audrey Blue works with self-portraits and photographs of close friends, or passers-by whom she has subsequently got to know. Rosamund Taylor writes about the work and a tension that runs through the photographs: ‘the hazards of youth, and the opposite: the wild joy of laughing with friends’.
