Photopolymer prints on cotton muslin

120x120x280cm

Reflecting on the weight of responsibility to both past and future generations and becoming the holder of familial memory and history, Eleanor Street uses photographs taken by her father, who died in 2022, as the basis for photopolymer prints on cotton muslin.  Taken in the landscape around the tidal basin of Loch Fleet in Scotland, the photographs include a boat wreck and other decaying infrastructure.  The process of working with these images and translating them into this form has been an act of obligation - to recognise and capture for posterity a sense of her father outside of his family role.  But there has also been catharsis in the process and a joyful recognition of shared focus and interests.  Shown at Morley Gallery, London in March 2025 as part of The Weight of Things by FOLD Art Collective
