Fatherhood
In 2003 I packed up my life and moved from Australia to Denmark. Work, marriage and children followed. By 2015 relationship challenges dominated my everyday. This body of work represents the later stages of this period in time (2019 - 2022). The loneliness, the anxiety, the guilt and fear that engulfed me. Raising 2 children on a week on/off basis has been an enormous challenge. Misunderstandings, broken promises and under delivered expectations have been the norm. My son is burdened with a rather serious developmental delay. He features in many of these images as we wander looking for meaning in our everyday. The unknown, in terms of his future, eats at my soul. I cannot express how much this dominates me. I try and conceal this fear but the more I suppress it the more it manifests itself through my imagery. I hope for a brighter future. Fatherhood is both full of joy and pain - particularly as a single parent in a foreign land.
