Investigating the psychology of herself, her daughters, and the social landscapes in which they live, Sian Davey's projects provide a thoughtful alternative vision of childhood and adolescence.

 

“I started to photograph around the time of the death of my father,” says Sian Davey. “Many things were happening at that time, including losing a baby. I knew I had to process my world and what was going on through photography – I felt the need to create something, to make a sense of it.”
