Saint Lawrence is one of the twelve parishes of Jersey in the Channel Islands. The parish occupies the centre of the Island and much of it is inland, though it has a short stretch of coastline in St. Aubin's Bay. I live at Abbey Gate right in the heart of the village situated next to the parish church and its graveyard. The images here are all made in the vicinity and acts as metaphor for our contemplation of mortality at a time when real death is literally starring us in the face.
On completion a set of images will be part of the Island Lockdown collection at the Société Jersiaise Photographic Archive, the island’s principal photographic collection with over 100,000 images dating from the mid-1840s to the present day.
