Liminal spaces are usually jaded or dreamy interiors that feel somehow insulated from the outside world ticking by. Some people find they create a comforting sense of retreat, while others find the opposite. This series began with a photo of a wall in my Grandparents’ 1960s flat. Since I can remember, the tiled, windowless bathroom struck me with a bittersweet mix of loneliness and nostalgia.
Whilst photographing deceased estates as they re-enter the property market, I've stumbled on that same combination of dated decor and twilight interiority. It's interesting subject matter, but also a reminder that these were the spaces in which people lived out their lives, often alone, in a world of increasing social isolation. 50% of the proceeds of this project will go to Age UK.
