Against The Grain was an exhibition commissioned by the Norwich Arts Centre.

I was one of 6 artists commissioned to make work within the theme of against the grain.

I went to stay in a commune in Norfolk and documented their lives.

Within contemporary culture, little is considered alternative as society is so diverse. However, ideologies concerning family living arrangements have barely changed. We believe we have the freedom of choice but often choices are silently made for us. Modern houses are built, dictating the ideology of the nuclear family.

With extra special thanks to the fantastic community at Shrubb, without whom the project would not have been possible.
