An award-winning exhibition of large-format photographic portraits, commissioned by LinkAge (Age UK)

COMMISSION

Initial consultation with subjects and participants of the project unearthed personal and collective concerns surrounding a lack of legacy for the various groups of elders LinkAge support.

Traditional representation of legacy in European art leads us to grand portrait paintings and statues in public places, victories, remembrance, stature and even perhaps decadence.

These new portraits offer a counterpoint to this type of legacy in art by offering the subjects an honorary gift of legacy through an individual photographic portrait and a touring exhibition at venues throughout Bristol.
