Memories of Normality. 2020

I'm using colour in my own photographs to accentuate what I remembered on a specific day during a months residency cycling the Shitamache areas surrounding the Sumida River, Tokyo, Japan in June 2019. I only covered part of the river and had planned to return to Tokyo and continue my research, but all that has changed. 

With COVID-19 everything has changed, my world has shattered as I am confined to home for the foreseeable future, locked down, no studio, no materials and no opportunities of work in my hometown. All I can do is use social media to stay connected.

So this project is working on existing images I had taken and using colour to highlight my memories and feelings. It is also accentuating what we all took for granted as normal. My subtle view's of the beauty in everyday life that is no longer everyday life.

Many of the images are now ones of longing and sadness for me, they are now out of reach. Will I ever return?
