In Between.

In-between: adjective [before noun] - between two clear or accepted stages or states, and therefore difficult to describe or know exactly.

I’ve recently become a father. I started creating this work while my girlfriend and I were pregnant, as a personal account of thoughts, emotions and encounters I continue to grapple with, a reflection on my and sub-conscious feelings about impending fatherhood.

In Between is an introspective conversation about the transition into parenthood, and a critical engagement with the concept of domesticity, and my own masculinity; a simultaneous questioning, defining and redefining of something that was never discussed between my father and I.

My images are a visual representation of a complex and layered headspace, an attempt to grasp what I failed to make of sense of at the time. My work serves to map the surreal landscape of my mind, with intention to preserve details of significance which may be overlooked in an outsider’s observation of this liminal experience.
