'Mother and Father', is a moving journal of the final years of a
sixty-year marriage. For ten years, from 1997 to 2007 Paddy
Summerfield photographed his parents, reflecting on the bond
between them, which even the effects of Alzheimers could not break.
They become symbols in a drama of balance and tension, which is
both domestic and epic. As he says: "I recorded my mother's loss of
the world, my father's loss of his wife and, eventually, my loss of
them both." The images are primarily taken in their garden, though
the central section shows holiday visits to the Welsh coast, where
the raven, a Celtic symbol of death, frequently appears alongside
their world. Finally, the once cultivated garden becomes a
neglected wilderness, in the absence of the two people who spent
long days there, who cared for it, and for each other. These
thoughtful, often melancholy, images form a personal piece which is
simultaneously universal.
