Endless Reproduction

Endless Reproduction is a book of photographs made during the years I was unsuccessfully trying to get pregnant. When I looked back into the hundreds of images I realised there was an unexpected layer of synchronicity with the photos I was taking and my lived experience.

Falling apples and unstable objects give a visual language to my story.

The book shares a hopeful beginning to a journey, takes in medical interventions and tracks a belief that eventually fades. We start in nature, shift through domestic interiors, and come to rest in a no-man's land of studio and darkroom interiors.
