Portrait of Winifred Park

These images reflect a number of shifts which have taken place across the British cultural consciousness over the last century and are embedded in the artefacts and vistas in a centegenarian's home.

The house has been occupied for half a century.

Some items within it had been inherited, some were gifts and others were purchased, but all project the values of their time. Their selection and accumulation reflect the values both embedded in and lost to our culture.

This body of work currently consists of around 40 images.

In March 2012, a selection of images from this body of work were shortlisted for Redeye Network's (http://www.redeye.org.uk/) Rob Sara bursary.
