Taken over the course of more than a year of exclusive access, this
work applies large format still life photography to the context of
a unique prison community, E Wing at Kingston Prison in Portsmouth.
For eight years this was Britain's only wing dedicated to holding
elderly lifers: murderers, rapists, paedophiles and other violent
criminals aged from their late 50s to over 80 years old. "Still
Life: Killing Time", is not simply a reportage about a particular
prison. Elements of metaphor, abstraction and documentary explore
the experience of long term incarceration and the passage of time,
and touch on how ageing and physical decline affect the prison
environment. The claustrophobia of these close up, deliberate and
regular compositions reflects both the nature of the place and the
experience of working in E Wing.The recurring motifs - bars,
squares, boxes, grids - show the segmentation and ordering of time
and space that is fundamental to prison life, while the details of
the inmates' possessions, notice-boards, walls, tables and bedsides
suggest their state of mind and how they adapt to long term
incarceration and getting old in an institution.
