You may not know this but I am currently a second year student at Chester University…. I wanted to have the experience of creating but being accountable for it….
This project is about time. About how time is relevant and irrelevant at the same time after something traumatic happens to you.
Time is not a healer….
Things that happen to you do not always simply become memories that you choice to relive or not.
They become you….
I photographed my beautiful fellow widow friend on Ilford black and white film…
We talked…. we compared grief. It felt like a normal conversation, for once. No awkwardness, No one being apologetic or trying to say the right thing. Just honest raw widow talk.
And today was spent in the lab developing and scanning the negatives into contact sheets….
and I had to share them here. This project means so much to me and I simply had to share the journey and process so far….
Next is to select the images that help tell the story…. some of these will also be exhibited and I shall share these details with you soon.
much love
Sarah
