Book launch, meet Matthew Finn and Dewi Lewis publisher

Join us in the Photographer's Gallery bookshop and meet Matthew Finn who is launching his monograph 'Mother', published by Dewi Lewis Publishing. Over a thirty year period, from 1987 onwards, Matthew Finn collaborated with his mother, Jean, to document her everyday life through a series of portraits taken in her home in Leeds. This is a record of the ordinary, of a daily routine with which we are all familiar. It is also a record of the gradual shift from middle age to old age, and, in Jean’s case, to the onset of mixed dementia and a move from the family home into residential care. It is a poignant body of work, filled with warmth yet conscious of the fragility of life. 'Mother' is currently being shown at Francesca Maffeo Gallery in Leigh on Sea. https://bookshop.thephotographersgallery.org.uk/blogs/events/matthew-finn-mother-book-launch-signing-thu-30-nov-18-00-20-00
